A Manson man has died of injuries he suffered Wednesday night when he was thrown from a minivan during a crash on U.S. Highway 169 in Fort Dodge.

Moore was driving the 1996 Mercury Villager, according to state troopers.

A passenger, Geraldine Moore, 83, of Manson, was injured and taken to Trinity Regional Medical Center, the State Patrol reported. A report on her condition was unavailable Thursday.

The crash happened at 5:55 p.m. Wednesday on the highway near Avenue G.

According to the State Patrol, the van was southbound when it went off the road, entered the median and struck a raised center divider. It then rolled numerous times. State troopers said Rex Moore was ejected from the vehicle as it rolled.

The van came to rest on its wheels, facing south in the northbound lanes.
