One person died following an accident Thursday night, in southern Iowa’s Lucas County. The Iowa State Patrol reports 39-year old Steven Lloyd Sinclair, of Humeston, who was not wearing a seat belt, died in the crash that happened at around 8:10-p.m. on Highway 65.

Authorities say a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix driven by Sinclair was traveling north on Highway 65, when he attempted to pass a pickup, on the right shoulder of the road. The car side-swiped the 2015 Ford F-150 and entered the east ditch before rolling over. Sinclair was ejected from his car as it rolled. He died at the scene.

The driver of the pickup, 43-year old Paul William Cooley, of Grundy Center, was not hurt.
