A western Iowa man was killed Tuesday when he was crushed by a trailer. Authorities say 26-year-old Steven Schulte of Arcadia was attempting to jack up a flat bed trailer with bottle jacks, in order to get a tractor underneath, when the trailer fell – trapping Schulte.

The incident was first reported to law enforcement at 3:52 p.m. The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office, Westside Fire Department and the Crawford County Medical Examiner all assisted at the scene.
