(Henry County, IA) – A rollover accident Friday afternoon in southeastern Iowa claimed the life of the sole occupant of the vehicle, a juvenile male from Wayland, IA.  The Iowa State Patrol says the accident happened south of Trenton at around 1:40-p.m., in the 1700 block of Franklin Avenue.

Authorities say a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder was traveling southbound on Franklin Avenue when the juvenile driver failed to navigate a curve and lost control. The vehicle rolled multiple times. The driver – who was not wearing a seat belt – died from his injuries after being flown by helicopter to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.

The juvenile’s identity has not been released at this time.
