(KNZA)--One person was killed in single-vehicle Brown County roll-over wreck Tuesday morning, just south of Hiawatha.
Brown County Sheriff John Merchant says the wreck was reported around 7:50 on Linden Road, just north of the Hiawatha Country Club entrance.
Upon arrival, Merchant says emergency responders located a 2003 Buick Century on its top in the east ditch in the bottom of a small creek.
Emergency personnel worked for almost an hour to free the lone occupant of the vehicle.
Merchant said the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
The name of the victim is being withheld at this time pending the notification of family members.
The wreck remains under investigation.
