Sheriff’s officials in northwest Iowa’s O’Brien County report an 18-year-old man died Saturday, after an early morning single-vehicle accident. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Carter Halverson, of Paulina. Authorities received a 9-1-1 call about the crash southwest of Paulina, a little after 12 a.m. on Saturday.
Officials say OnStar reported their system showed airbags had been deployed and there was one person in the driver’s seat. OnStar also indicated that the vehicle had possibly rolled over. When deputies arrived on the scene they found a 2023 Chevy Malibu. Halvorson – who was ejected from the car – died at the scene.
A preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle was traveling eastbound on 500th Street when it left the road and entered the north ditch. The vehicle appeared to have hit a driveway and rolled at least once.
The accident remained under investigation.
