A man from Polk County died during an accident Wednesday afternoon, in Harrison County. According to the Iowa State Patrol, 56-year old Christopher J. Kubas, of Edwardsville, KS., was driving a 2006 Chevy Silverado pickup northbound on I-29 at around 2:20-p.m., when the vehicle lost a tire near mile marker 29, a few miles north of the Mondamin exit.

The tire went northbound through the median and struck 51-year old Homero T. Carrillo, of Des Moines, who was working on the southbound I-29 bridge, in the east lane. The road had been shut-down for the construction project. Carillo died at the scene shortly after he was struck by the tire.
