Very sad for him, family, and friends. Odd coincidence--I started my teaching career not too far from Iowa county, and it's VERY rural, so I wonder if he was visiting family or friends? It would be very easy to slip off of one of those rural highways, but such a shame he didn't have his seatbelt on.
