A man from Guthrie County died during a single-vehicle rollover accident Thursday afternoon, in Guthrie County. The Iowa State Patrol reports 23-year old Tyler Rutherford, of Guthrie Center, was ejected from his pickup truck and died at the scene of the crash. He was not wearing a seat belt.

Rutherford was driving a 2005 Ford F-350 pickup northbound on Frontier Road at around 1:30-p.m., when the truck dropped onto the right shoulder and went out of control. The vehicle rolled several times before coming to rest in the east ditch.

Authorities say the accident on Frontier Road happened just north of 280th Street, about seven-miles north of Adair. The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office and Adair Fire and Rescue assisted the State Patrol at the scene.
