HADER — An Iowa man died Friday night in a car accident while attempting to cross four lanes of traffic on U.S. Highway 52 just north of Zumbrota.

According to Minnesota State Patrol's incident report, Jacob Paul Nelson, 22, of St. Ansgar, Iowa, stopped at a stop sign on Minnesota Highway 57, waiting to cross U.S. 52 just before 7 p.m. He eventually crossed southbound traffic, but "failed to yield at the median yield sign pulling out in front of the semi" that was traveling northbound, according to State Patrol's report.

The semi driven by Christopher John Small, 54, of Coon Rapids, collided with Nelson's vehicle on the passenger side while traveling at highway speeds.
