According to a Sheriff’s Office news release, 74-year-old Gary Cobb of Waldron was traveling south on Hillsdale Road in a 2004 Dodge Ram when a eastbound vehicle driven on Moore Road by 25-year-old Terasa Lopresto of Osseo allegedly did not yield at a stop sign and collided with the passenger side of Cobb’s vehicle.
