His car then came to rest in the east ditch.

Carrington was taken to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics where he was pronounced dead. Carrington was a former Mt. Mercy student-athlete. He played on the basketball team and graduated in 2013. He was also a member of the Cedar Valley CourtKings, a semi-pro basketball team.
