SAC COUNTY, Iowa (KCAU) — A semi driver from Omaha was killed in a single-vehicle crash near Odebolt on Saturday. According to a release from the Sac County Sheriff’s Office, the crash was reported at around 5:30 a.m. just north of the 360th Street and Cory Avenue intersection, about 6 miles southeast of Odebolt. When officials arrived, they discovered a 2025 Volvo semi-tractor that was in a field off to the west of the road. The semi appeared to have rolled.

Inside the vehicle, officials located 29-year-old Bryan Pubien, of Omaha. Pubien was pronounced dead at the scene. A preliminary investigation determined Pubian was traveling north on Cory Avenue,  when he lost control at the 360th Street intersection where Cory Avenue goes from being paved to gravel. That caused the semi to enter the west ditch and roll several times, according to the sheriff’s office. The vehicle came to rest in a cornfield.

Pubien was pinned inside the cab of the truck and was extricated by Odebolt Fire Rescue. He was not wearing a seat belt. According to GPS data obtained at the scene, the accident happened at 2:37 a.m., about three hours before officials were notified.

The Sac County Sheriff’s Office, Odebolt Fire Rescue, and Sac County EMS responded to the crash scene.
