The Iowa State Patrol says an Adams County Sheriff’s Deputy suffered minor injuries during a collision late Sunday morning, in Adams County. Officials say 52-year old Deputy Michael Laughlin, of Corning, was driving a 2017 Ford Explorer northbound on Quincy Avenue, enroute to an Emergency Call.

As the SUV approached a northbound 2017 Ford F-250 driven by 57-year old Robert Russell, of Prescott, McLaughlin attempted to pass the slower moving vehicle. The pickup turned left in front of the SUV, causing it to be struck on the driver’s side by the Explorer. Both vehicles continued across a farm entrance and into the west ditch off Quincy Avenue, just south of 180th Street. The accident happened at around 11:55-a.m., Sunday.

Russell was not hurt in the crash. Deputy Laughlin, who was wearing a seat belt, was transported by Adams County Rescue to CHI Health Mercy Corning for treatment of minor injuries.
