(Dakota City, Iowa) – Two people in a pickup truck died early Saturday morning in northern Iowa’s Humboldt County, when the vehicle went out of control and rolled over multiple times. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2005 Chevy pickup driven by 17-year-old Gavin Maines, of Woolstock (Iowa), was westbound on 230th Street at around 6:20-a.m., when Maines failed to negotiate a right hand curve in the road onto Nevada Avenue, southeast of Dakota City.

The pickup entered the west ditch and rolled several time, causing Maines, and his passenger, 18-year-old Madison Fraker, of Algona, to be ejected. They were not wearing seat belts and died at the scene.  The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and Humboldt County Medical Examiner assisted the Patrol at the crash site.
