A weekend collision involving a Dallas County Sheriff’s Deputy and another vehicle resulted in a patrol vehicle being totalled.

According to the Iowa State Patrol, at around 9 p.m. Saturday, a patrol vehicle driven by Deputy Aaron Sanchez was travelling north on County Road P-58 near Minburn Road with his emergency lights and sirens on.
