One man is dead following a single-vehicle accident southwest of the City of La Cygne.

41-year-old Edward Schultz of Centerville was killed yesterday (on Thursday) in a crash that occurred just after midnight on a rural road in Linn County. Schultz was driving a 2012 Hyundai Electra when the vehicle left the roadway for an unknown reason and struck an embankment. This caused the vehicle to overturn and come to rest on its top.

Schultz was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
