OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities are checking whether the death of an Iowa man after an Omaha accident was related to the extreme heat.

Omaha police say officers were dispatched to a field in east-central Omaha about 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday. They found a man who had collapsed about a half-mile east of a vehicle that had crashed into a dirt mound in a construction zone.

Police say he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Medical officials say his core body temperature had reached 110 degrees. The National Weather Service says the temperature was 101 about the time of the accident.

The man was identified as 48-year-old Paul Tamayo, of Council Bluffs, Iowa.

An autopsy has been scheduled.
