One person was injured when an ambulance traveling in an “emergency mode,” collided with a pickup truck this (Wednesday) morning, in Adams County. The Iowa State Patrol says the 2012 Ford Adams County Ambulance Service vehicle driven by 69-year old Edward Davidson, of Corning, and  a 1990 Dodge truck driven by 46-year old Roger Moss, of Prescott, collided on on 190th Street, about one-quarter of a mile east of Prescott, at around 8:15-a.m. Officials say for reasons unknown, the pickup crossed the center line of the road, and the vehicles collided in the eastbound lane.

Moss was transported by Mercy 3 helicopter to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. The accident remains under investigation.
