(Albia, Iowa) – A pedestrian in southern Iowa’s Monroe County died Tuesday afternoon, after being struck by an SUV. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2011 Chevy Traverse driven by 33-year-old Michael Lee Cox, of Albia, was traveling south on Clinton Street at around 1:10-p.m., and proceeded through the intersection of S. Clinton and E. Washington Streets, as 56-year-old Timothy Allen Olson, of Polk City, was crossing S. Clinton in a crosswalk from the west, which was to the right of the SUV.

When Cox failed to see Olson, his vehicle struck the man, who died at the Monroe County Hospital from his injuries. The accident was under investigation.
