Editor’s Note: A correction was added to this article June 17.

Due to a reporting error, the June 15 article and headline ‘Stange Road turnaround results in $25,000 damage’ incorrectly stated the total damage from a Monday accident. Instead of $25,000, the figure should have been $8,500. The Daily regrets the error.Sonja Jensen said she was a little surprised Monday when she returned from her class and found the left rear side of her car crumpled like tin foil.

At first, police said, she just wondered where her car was, and why it wasn’t where she’d left it.

A Peterbilt semitrailer driven by Ted Trunnelle of Wesley dragged Jensen’s parked Nissan Maxima 15 feet into the blocked-off section of Stange Road after attempting to make a turn in the small space allotted, police said. The Nissan, parked in a permit-only spot on the circular drive on the east side of Lagomarcino Hall, was caught by the truck’s bumper as Trunnelle drove forward.

Jensen, graduate student in educational leadership and policy studies, said she was shocked at the state of her car, but added that the damage was minimal.

“It’s nothing that can’t be fixed,” she said.

Trunnelle, 67, said he had come to the ISU campus while on his way to a Fareway storehouse in Boone carrying a cargo of mayonnaise and peanut butter. Trunnelle said he had hoped to speak to Robert Schofield, a former history professor at Iowa State who left the school in 1993 and now resides near Princeton, N.J. Trunnelle wanted to speak to the professor about a history of technology course that he was interested in, but after inquiring inside the building, found that the professor wasn’t there.

At approximately 11:15 a.m., Trunnelle said he attempted to back out of the cramped road, maneuvering the truck’s trailer into the circular drive and rolling over a series of bushes. He drove out, and unknowingly hooked Jensen’s car by the left rear wheel well.

The car’s left rear window shattered near the point of impact, and the car itself sustained significant body damage, which officers on the scene estimated to be in the range of $6,000. The car was then dragged into the road itself.

Trunnelle said he was unaware of the damage to the other car until after he stopped the cab of the truck three feet beyond the curb on the other side of the street and a witness approached the truck and told him he was dragging the car.

“I didn’t know,” he said. “I didn’t feel the impact of anything.”

ISU Police Lt. Steve Hasstedt said the incident caused an estimated $25,000 in damage overall. The truck seemed relatively unharmed, with one tire flattened and the rear left mudflap bar skewed.
