A man from western Dallas County died in a high speed, rollover crash east of Stuart, Tuesday night. The Iowa State Patrol identified the victim as 64-year old Andrew Gail Soroka, of Dexter. Officials say he was driving a 2001 Jeep Cherokee eastbound on White Pole Road at around 10:30-p.m., when the SUV went straight off the road at a curve.

The vehicle went down the south ditch and hit a “Curve” sign before continuing east in the ditch and hitting a log. The SUV rolled over, landed beside the railroad tracks and rolled down a hill before coming to rest on its wheels.

Soroka, who was wearing his seat belt, was partially ejected from the vehicle as it rolled. He died at the scene. His body was transported to the DCI Lab in Ankeny, for autopsy.
