That driver, whose name has not been released, lost control of the vehicle heading westbound near mile marker 41 and came to rest in the eastbound ditch. One person was transported to Mercy in Des Moines by helicopter, and the extent of his or her injuries has not been released. The Pella Police Department, Pella Fire, Pella Ambulance, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, and the Iowa State Patrol responded. KNIA/KRLS will have more details as they become official.
