Andrew Lincoln of Storm Lake died after his SUV left 480th Street east of County Highway M54 in Buena Vista County, rolled several times and came to rest on its driver’s side in a cornfield. The 58-year-old was the only person in the vehicle, and authorities said he was wearing a seat belt. He died at the scene.
The crash happened at about 9:10 a.m. Sunday, June 21, 2026, near the intersection of 480th Street and County Highway M54 between Marathon and Albert City. The Iowa State Patrol said Lincoln was driving east when the vehicle left the roadway, entered the south ditch and rolled before stopping in the field south of the road.
The Iowa State Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Buena Vista County Sheriff’s Office and Albert City Fire and Rescue. The crash remains under investigation.
The death adds to ongoing rural-road safety concerns in Buena Vista County and across Iowa, where the Department of Transportation tracks fatal crashes and other roadway data. In a county built around long stretches of open highway and farm ground, Sunday’s wreck put another hard focus on the risks drivers face when a vehicle leaves the pavement on a two-lane county road.
