Deputies arriving on scene determined that a van driven by Liberty Armstrong of Corning was sitting at the stop sign at the intersection of Highway 148 and Highway 34 facing south.  A semi tractor trailer driven by Raymond Slama of Wyoming was traveling westbound on Highway 34 when Armstrong attempted to cross the highway failing to see the approaching semi.  The two vehicles collided spinning the van 180 degrees and Armstrong was ejected from the van.  Armstrong was then taken by helicopter to Des Moines and treated for what were determined to be minor injuries.  Slama was uninjured in the accident.

Both vehicles were towed from the scene.  The Adams County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Adams County Fire and Rescue and the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office.  The Office wants to thank all of the witnesses that stayed at the scene and assisted the injured and gave their statements.
