The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office has released details on a Wednesday morning accident that resulted in an Omaha man’s death.  At approximately 7:39am Fremont County Dispatch received a call of a vehicle in the ditch at the I-29 northbound off ramp at Highway 2.  Upon arrival deputies and medical personal located a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe in a field on the east side of the off ramp.  45-year-old Roy David Walker of Omaha, NE was found dead outside the vehicle.

Deputies believe Walker was northbound on I-29 and missed the off ramp and made a corrective maneuver to get on the ramp and lost control and began to roll.  The Tahoe then hit a sign and continued to roll going over a tree and the interstate fence before coming to rest in a field.  Walker was not wearing his seat-belt at the time of the accident.

Walker’s body was sent to the DCI Crime Laboratory in Ankeny for an autopsy and the investigation into the accident continues.  The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by Percival and Sidney Fire and Rescue and the Fremont County Coroners Office.
