In a follow-up to our story Tuesday about a fatality accident near Avoca, the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office today (Wednesday) identified the victim as 60-year old Garry Johnk, of Atlantic. Sheriff Jeff Danker says the cause of death is pending the results of an autopsy.

Johnk was driving a Ford F-150 pickup on westbound Highway 83 at around 7:35-a.m., Tuesday, when the vehicle left the road and came to rest in a harvest cornfield. Iowa Department of Transportation workers were on location erecting a construction zone sign,  when they saw the pickup pass by. The driver appeared to be slumped over, leaning toward the driver’s door.

The workers were nearly struck as the truck passed them. John was transported by Avoca Rescue to Myrtue Medical Center-Harlan where he was pronounced dead.
