Sheriff’s officials in Adams County say an Adair County man suffered minor injuries during an accident Monday morning. 83-year old Harvey Wallace, of Fontanelle, was driving a 2001 Ford Windstar van northeast towards Prescott at around 11:40-a.m., when the van left the road and made contact with a BNSF railroad signaling mast. The impact caused the van to rotate and flip into its top across the tracks.

Wallace was transported by ambulance to CHI Health Mercy Hospital in Corning. The accident remains under investigation. Adams County Sheriff’s deputies were assisted at the scene by Prescott Fire and Rescue, Corning Rescue, and bystanders who volunteered to assist.
