Pott. County Deputy injured when Semi hits his SUV while conducting a traffic stop

News

February 16th, 2019 by admin

A Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Deputy was injured early Saturday morning after he and his SUV were hit by a Semi Tractor-Trailer while conducting a traffic stop.

The Iowa State Patrol reports at 4:00am 31-year-old Deputy Adam Fields was conducting a traffic stop on I-29 Northbound at the 45 mile-marker and had his emergency lights on. While Deputy Fields was making contact with the driver of the stopped vehicle, a passing 2018 Volvo FedEx Semi struck Deputy Fields’ Ford Explorer and then hit Deputy Fields while he was standing next to the violator’s driver window. The driver of the semi, 26-year-old Austin Vincent Oliver of Bronson, IA, dozed off at the wheel to cause the accident. The Volvo ended up crossing over the median, through the cable barrier, and across the southbound lanes before jackknifing in the west ditch. The Explorer came to rest upright on the shoulder, and the passengers of the vehicle that was stopped by Deputy Fields were unharmed.

Deputy Fields was transported to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs by Council Bluffs EMS and treated for a leg injury and was later released.

The patrol car was a total loss. Oliver was cited for Failure to Maintain Control and taken out of service for being a fatigued driver.

The driver of the vehicle that was stopped by Deputy Fields was arrested and processed for Operating While Intoxicated.
