(KNZA)--The victim of a late Friday night fatal Jackson County wreck has been identified

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse identified the victim of the wreck at the intersection of K-116 Highway and V. Road as 59-year-old Larry Hladky, of Holton.

Morse said Hladky had been southbound on V. Road and turned west short of the intersection.

The Sheriff's Office received a 911 call shortly after 10:00 reporting a pickup truck that was hanging off the roadway and teetering next to a culvert at the intersection about four miles east of Holton.

A nearby resident attempted to pull the pickup out when it rolled over into a deep ditch and water, trapping Hladky's head under water.

Emergency personnel arrived and freed him from the vehicle.

Hladky was transported by Jackson County EMS to the Holton Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

A female passenger in the truck had been freed from the vehicle prior to the arrival of first responders.

Morse said the wreck remains under investigation
