A high-speed pursuit early Saturday morning in northeast Iowa’s Fayette County, resulted in the death of a Missouri man. The Iowa State Patrol reports a Fayette County Sheriff’s Deputy was in pursuit of a 2008 KIA Spectra at around 1:45-a.m.  The car, which was traveling north on Mills Street in the City of Wadena, crossed the shoulder and oncoming lane before colliding head-on with a parked and unoccupied 2007 Dodge Ram pickup.

The driver of the KIA, 28-year old Jared Hill, of Jefferson City, MO., died at the scene. He was not wearing a seat belt. It’s not clear why he was being pursued.
