As Leland Dean Paterson, of Dakota City was backing a 2009 International box truck up to the rear of the Curlew Post Office, the top of the truck collided with the rear porch roof on the building, causing the porch roof to fall in. Damge to the roof was estimated at $1500.00. There was no damage to the truck. No citations were issued due to private property.
