A single-vehicle accident Wednesday afternoon in Adair County has claimed the life of an eastern Iowa man. The Iowa State Patrol reports 26-year old Brian John Clymer, of Colfax died, when the 2003 Chevy S-10 pickup he was driving went out of control on Interstate 80 eastbound near mile marker 74.

The pickup went off the road to the left and struck the cable barrier in the median before rolling over and coming to rest in the left lane of I-80 westbound. The accident happened at around 4:41-p.m. Clymer was ejected from his pickup as it rolled over. He was not wearing a seat belt, and died at the scene.

There were numerous 9-1-1 reports to law enforcement prior to the crash, about a vehicle matching the Chevy that was driving recklessly. The accident, however. remains under investigation.
