One person was killed in a car crash early this morning in rural southwest Iowa. Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker says the accident was discovered by a deputy who was on patrol around 2:45 A.M, a few miles west of Treynor.

Sheriff Danker says the deputy was on Highway 92 when he noticed a vehicle in a field, just off the road. Upon further investigation, he located a victim of the crash who had been ejected from the vehicle. The man is identified as 35-year old Jason Jarosik of rural Treynor.

Danker says the man was transported to Ankeny for an autopsy by the medical examiner. Jarosik was driving a 2004 Toyota 4-Runner. He was declared dead at the scene. No one else was in the vehicle. The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
