One Lone Tree resident was killed after a motor vehicle accident, according to authorities.

According to a press release from the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched to a motor vehicle crash near 100 E. Dougherty Street in Lone Tree at 11:34 p.m. Wednesday.

The driver, 47-year-old Dana L. Troyer, was reportedly killed in the collision.

After proceeding east, the vehicle apparently crashed into a tree and some vehicles.

Deputies and local first responders arrived, removed Troyer from the vehicle, and performed CPR.

He was transported to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, where he later died.

Troyer was the only occupant of the vehicle, according to the release.
