A southeast Iowa man is dead following a single-vehicle crash early Saturday morning.
The Iowa State Patrol says the crash happened shortly after midnight in the northbound lane of Highway 34 near mile marker 44 in Henry County.
Authorities say a Chevy Malibu driven by 26-year-old Jaden Eugene Williams of Eddyville left the roadway for unknown reasons. The vehicle struck an embankment and was launched into a bridge.
Williams was pronounced dead at the scene. His body was transported to Olson-Yoder Funeral Home.
Officials did not indicate whether Williams was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
The Iowa State Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, Mount Pleasant Police Department and EMS, and the Henry County Medical Examiner.
