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.

The release states that 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 Bryan Pubien, 29, of Omaha. Pubien was pronounced dead at the scene.

Preliminary investigation showed that Prebian had been heading north on Cory Avenue when he lost control at the 360th Street intersection where Cory Avenue goes from being paved to gravel. This caused the semi to enter the west ditch and roll several times, the release stated. The vehicle came to rest in a cornfield.

Pubien was pinned inside the cab of the truck and was extricated by Odebolt Fire Rescue. Pubien was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, officials said.

According to GPS data obtained at the scene, the accident happened at 2:37 a.m., about three hours before officials were notified.

Pubien has since been taken to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Ankeny for an autopsy. The Sac County Sheriff’s Office, Odebolt Fire Rescue, and Sac County EMS responded to the crash scene.
