According to Cass County Sheriff William Brueggemann, Michael Briones was driving a straight truck a mile west of the state park Thursday morning when he crossed the center line and sideswiped a pickup truck pulling a trailer. Briones was taken to a hospital, where he later died.

Brueggemann says five members of a construction crew riding in the pickup suffered minor injuries.
