(KTNC) - A Falls City man was killed in a rollover accident in western Iowa this past weekend.
Authorities with the Shelby County Iowa Sheriff’s Department found 21-year-old Tanner Merz’ 2003 Ford Taurus upside down in a ditch along a county road south of Irwin, Iowa, at approximately 2:45 Saturday morning.
Authorities say the car was sitting on its roof. Paramedics worked to extract Merz from his car, but he died at the scene. Investigators say Merz was driving north when he lost control of his vehicle.
