A Des Moines man is dead after a freak accident Wednesday afternoon on I-29 in western Iowa.
The Iowa State Patrol says 51 year old Homero Carrillo was working on a bridge construction project Wednesday afternoon when a northbound pickup truck lost a tire just north of the Mondamin exit.
The patrol says the tire went through the median and struck Carrillo, who was working on the southbound I-29 bridge.
The road had been shut-down for construction. Carrillo died at the scene
