Former ‘Bachelor’ Star Chris Soules Arrested After Deadly Crash

Aurora, IA — (CNN) Former “Bachelor” star Chris Soules has been arrested in connection with a deadly car crash in Buchanan County, Iowa, Monday night, authorities say.

Soules was driving a 2008 Chevy pickup that collided with a tractor around 8 p.m., according to Sergeant Scott Bright, a spokesman with the Iowa State Patrol. Bright confirmed that the individual driving the tractor was killed.

“Chris left the scene of the collision and was arrested later by the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department,” Bright said.

The identity of the individual driving the tractor has not been released.

Soules starred on the 19th season of ABC’s “The Bachelor.”

Court documents show Soules has a drunk driving record, notably with an arrest for an OWI in 2005 and an open container charge in 2001, among many other speeding and traffic tickets.

Soules was arraigned Tuesday morning. Information about any lawyer representing him was not immediately available.
