The sheriff’s office said Hullerman was pronounced dead at the scene Monday morning after the vehicle he was driving was struck by a vehicle that had run a stop sign at Central City and Alburnett roads.

According to a news release, Eric Caryl, 42, of Coggon, was driving south on Alburnett Road when he “failed to stop at the stop sign” and crashed into Hullerman’s vehicle, which was eastbound on Central City Road.

A picture of the scene posted on the Linn County Sheriff’s Office Twitter page shows the two vehicles left the roadway and each rolled at least once before coming to rest upside down in the ditch along the road.

The picture also shows what appears to be a trailer on its side, though the sheriff’s office has not said whether one of the vehicles involved was pulling a trailer.

Caryl was taken to Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids with injuries that appeared to be not life-threatening.

The incident is under investigation, the sheriff’s office said.
