A western Iowa man was killed during a rollover accident early yesterday in Audubon County.

Sheriff’s officials say 21-year-old Michael Dean Schmidt, of Audubon, died at the scene of the crash south of Gray at around 3:30 AM, Sunday.

The vehicle he was driving was traveling west on 120th Street when it crossed the center line of the road and continued onto the left shoulder following a curve. Schmidt was ejected from the vehicle as rolled down a ditch and landed in a field.

The accident remains under investigation.
