The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a two-vehicle personal-injury accident that occurred at 5:34 this morning.
The accident involved a semi-trailer and pickup truck on New U.S. Highway 30, between County Roads 13 and 14 near Ames.
The preliminary investigation determined that the pickup, a red Chevy Silverado driven by Kevin Ramirez Fierro, 19, of Columbus, was eastbound on New Highway 30 when it crossed the center line and collided with the westbound Freightliner semi-trailer driven by John Piskorski, 43, of Council Bluffs, Iowa.
That area of New Highway 30 is two lanes with head-to-head traffic.
Authorities said Ramirez Fierro sustained serious injuries and was transported from the scene by LifeNet medical helicopter to a trauma center in Omaha. Piskorski was not injured.
