(KNZA)--No serious injuries were reported in a Wednesday afternoon wreck near Hiawatha High School.

Hiawatha Police Captain Brian Guilliams said 40-year-old Jacques Ross, of Hiawatha, was driving a 2005 Buick on Redhawk Drive about 3:30 when he suffered a medical emergency.

The Buick struck a parked vehicle on Redhawk Drive and then left the roadway to the north. The vehicle went through the grass and parking lot entrance, entered the west tree line of Morrill Drive and Oregon Street, and struck a tree.

Guilliams said Ross had to be extradited from his vehicle but only suffered minor injuries. He was transported to Amberwell Health, in Hiawatha.

His teenage son, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was not injured.

Also the driver and teenage passenger of the parked vehicle were not hurt.

Guilliams thanked the Brown County Sheriff's Office, Town and Country EMS and Hiawatha Fire Department for their assistance.
