(Greenfield, Iowa) – Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater, Tuesday afternoon, said a man from Warren County died from injuries he suffered during a rollover accident Monday night, east of Greenfield. The Sheriff says 42-year-old Sean Alein Hagen, of Prole, was driving a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, westbound on Highway 92 at around 10:30-p.m., when the SUV left the road and entered the north ditch near 2432 Highway 92.

The vehicle continued westbound and re-entered Highway 92 before going back into the north ditch. The SUV continued westbound in the ditch, striking a No Passing sign. It re-entered the roadway again, at the intersection with Orange Avenue and Highway 92, where the vehicle went into the north ditch and rolled about 3 1/2 times before coming to rest.

Hagen – who did not wear a seat belt -was ejected from the vehicle through the roof. While providing aid to him, medics advised they could smell alcohol coming from Hagen, and they advised he informed them he had previously consumed alcohol, prior to the accident. He died at the scene.
