Friends and family of an Iowa man who passed away this week as a result of an accident that occurred on Highway 30 are remembering him.
Johnston resident Christian Royston, age 26, passed away on Wednesday evening. At approximately 11:30 p.m., a lady who was traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes of Highway 30 near Ames was involved in a head-on collision with Royston’s vehicle, according to the Story County Sheriff’s Office.
Having completed his education at Iowa State University, Royston went on to work at the Iowa State Daily magazine.
One of the things that Michael Dahlstrom, the Director of the Iowa State School of Journalism, recalls most about Royston is the joy that he brought into the world. The video that is located at the very top of this article contains a voiceover by Dahlstrom.
There is still an investigation being conducted into the collision, according to a press statement issued by the Story County Sheriff’s Office.
