One person died during a single-vehicle rollover accident Saturday evening, in Fremont County. Sheriff Kevin Aistrope reports deputies responded to the scene near 120th Street and 310th Avenue – west of Randolph – a little before 5-p.m.

The Sheriff says 46-year old Chad Billings, of Emerson, was operating a tan 2008 Dodge Ram 2500, southbound on 310th Avenue, when he failed to stop at the stop sign at 120th Street. The pickup went out of lost control and entered the east ditch, where it overturned and came to rest in a field.

Billings was pronounced dead at the scene and taken to Douglas County Hospital for an autopsy. The crash is currently under investigation by the Iowa State Patrol. Randolph and Tabor Fire and Rescue, Tabor Police Department, the Fremont County Medical Examiner, and the Iowa State Patrol assisted with the incident.
