The Down-home Farmer Flees a Fatal Crash
By: Emma Coons
Bachelor Season 19’s star Chris Soules was booked Tuesday morning at 1:16am for
leaving the scene of a deadly car crash in Iowa. He also starred in Dancing with the Stars’ 20 th
season back in 2015 with professional dancer Whitney Carson and starred on Food Network’s
Worst Cooks in America. Leaving the crime scene of a fatal crash is a D class felony, and he
could face up to five years in prison if he is convicted. This story has garnered the attention of
Bachelor fans and Iowa residents due to his fame as an Iowa ambassador and farm industry
advocate. He called 911 at around 8:20pm Monday night to claim he had rear-ended a tractor
north of Aurora, Iowa and then that the tractor veered into a ditch. After asking if he could call
back, he left the scene. He knows that was not a good idea now.
