Candice BondAlex Eugene Killoren, 29, of Knoxville, was killed in a car crash on Highway T 17 east of 216th Place, near Knoxville, on October 24, according to the Iowa State Patrol.
The Late-Night Crash on Highway T 17
The crash happened at about 11:59 p.m. Saturday. The patrol said Killoren was heading west in a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado when the pickup left the road at a curve. The truck went into a ditch, over a drainage culvert, and rolled at least once. Killoren was thrown from the pickup and was found to the west of it. According to the Iowa State Patrol, Killoren had no seat belt on.
Emergency responders tried to save him at the scene. Pella EMS then took him to Pella Regional Health Center, where the report lists his injuries as fatal. The report lists no other vehicles and no other injured people.
Where the Marion County Investigation Stands
The investigation remains active. Trooper Jon Thorup investigated with help from the Marion County Sheriff's Office, the Pella Police Department and Pella EMS. Investigators have not determined why the pickup left the road. Lambirth's Towing removed the truck from the scene.
Vehicles from a serious crash are often towed to a secure lot and held for inspection. That is a standard step, and the vehicles can be held for weeks.

Here is what families in Iowa usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
