A man from Ironton, Minn., died in a rollover crash Saturday when the vehicle he was driving left the road, went airborne and landed in a ditch.
Leon Schefers, 77, was driving west on Hwy. 18 in Wealthwood Township in Aitkin County when his Toyota Tundra "went off the road to the right" and went airborne off a driveway approach, a State Patrol incident report said.
The vehicle struck a tree, then rolled over and landed on its roof in a ditch, the patrol's report said.
Schefers was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, which was reported about 2:30 p.m., the patrol said.
Schefers, who died at the scene, was the lone occupant of the vehicle, the patrol's report said.
