In an update to our earlier reports, the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office said a man from Adair County was injured when the dump truck he was driving crashed into an unoccupied building in Guthrie Center, Tuesday morning. 41-year old James Livingston, of Greenfield, suffered suspected serious/incapacitating injuries during the crash that happened at around 9:34-a.m.

Authorities say Livingston was driving a 2006 Volvo dump truck westbound on State Street in Guthrie Center, when he failed to negotiate the turn. The truck struck a building owned by the City of Guthrie Center, and crashed through the wall before coming to rest. The building had served as the former location for the Guthrie Center Fire Department.

Livingston was flown by Life Flight to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines. Damage from collision amounted to $115,000.
