KNOXVILLE, Iowa — The Iowa State Patrol reports one person died and another was injured, Monday afternoon, when a minivan crashed through an exterior wall of a Knoxville health care facility, striking a resident. The accident happened around 3:20 p.m. Monday at the Accura HealthCare facility when a 2014 Chrysler Town & Country van traveled through a parking lot, went out of control and accelerated through the parking lot before crashing into a wall and a resident’s room. The resident was pinned in her room and required extraction.

The resident, 70-year-old Rebecca Richardson, of Knoxville, was pronounced dead at the Knoxville hospital. The driver of the van, 86-year-old Doris McCombs, of Knoxville, was transported by air ambulance to a Des Moines hospital. The incident remains under investigation.
