(Shelby County, Iowa) – A single-vehicle accident that was discovered early Tuesday morning in Shelby County, resulted in a fatality. According to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to the area of County Road M16 south of 1300th St., for a vehicle that left the roadway. Deputies located a 2004 F-250 pickup on the east side of road M16.

Authorities believe the pickup left the roadway the evening of the Feb. 26th. After investigating the scene, it was also believed the vehicle partially left the roadway while traveling south bound on the west shoulder. The driver identified as 34-year old Brett Gubbels, then made a corrective action to bring the vehicle back on the roadway and attempted to apply the brakes. The vehicle then went across the north bound land and into the east ditch, which caused the vehicle to roll over multiple times.

Gubbels was pronounced deceased at the scene.
