(Rural Carroll County, Iowa) – The Iowa State Patrol, Wednesday evening, released details about a fatal UTV accident that took place Tuesday afternoon, southeast of Carroll. The Patrol reports a 2017 Chevy Express van driven by 60-year-old Paul Heuton, of Carroll, was traveling north on Olympic Avenue at around 2:26-p.m., at the same time a 2022 John Deere Gator UTV operated by 62-year-old Randy Daniel, of Glidden, was traveling east on 230th.

When Daniel failed to stop at the posted stop sign prior to entering the intersection, Heuton took evasive action, but was unable to avoid striking the UTV on its passenger side.

The UTV rolled and entered the northeast ditch, along with the Express van. Randy Daniel was transported  by ambulance to the Carroll County Hospital, where he died from his injuries. He was not wearing a seat belt. Another person was injured, but the Patrol’s report did not indicate that person’s name or age. It’s also not clear which vehicle that person was a passenger in.

Carroll County EMS and Carroll County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene.
