DES MOINES COUNTY, Iowa — One person is dead following a crash that caused a car to roll several times in Des Moines County, north of Burlington.

According to the Iowa State Patrol, just after 11 p.m. on Friday, a Kia was traveling southbound along DMC Highway 99 at excessive speeds when the driver lost control of the vehicle. The Kia then entered the west ditch near a driveway located along the 16000 block of Highway 99.
