A man from Ft. Madison died Monday afternoon, during a single-vehicle rollover accident in southeast Iowa’s Lee County. The Iowa State Patrol reports 33-year old Hoyt Floyd Grossman died at the scene of the crash that happened at around 1:40-p.m.

Authorities say Grossman, who was not wearing a seat belt, was driving a 2000 Ford Ranger eastbound on Lee County Road J-48 when the pickup went off the road, to the right. Grossman over-corrected, causing the vehicle to go out of control. It drove off the road to the left and hit a culvert before flipping over and landing on its top.
