One person was injured during a collision Thursday afternoon between two pickup trucks in Adams County. The Iowa State Patrol says 72-year old Donald Hardisty, of Corning, who was wearing a seat belt, was transported by Adams County Rescue to Alegent Creighton Health/Mercy Hospital in Corning, after the 1993 Ford Ranger he was driving crashed into a 1993 Ford F-350, driven by 21-year old Shayne Larson, of Red Oak. The accident happened just before 3-p.m., at the intersection of 150th Street and Corning-Carl Road.

The Patrol says Larson was traveling west on 150th and had come to a complete stop at the intersection, before pulling out into the path of Hardisty’s pickup. Hardistry swerved to avoid a collision but his smaller truck was struck by Larson’s larger pickup. Hardisty’s vehicle entered the west ditch and rolled over before coming to rest.

Corning Fire and Rescue and the Adams County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene.
