Nebraska trucker held in death of Iowa motorist

August 21, 2008 By admin

An out-of-state trucker is being held after he allegedly hit and killed a motorist in Iowa. A 64-year-old West Des Moines motorist died late last night as the result of an accident on Interstate 35 and Highway 3 in Franklin County.

The Iowa State Patrol identified the victim as Thomas Barker. Reportedly the 2001 Volkswagen driven by Barker was involved in a single-vehicle accident, and  when Bakrer got out of the car, he was then struck and killed by a southbound 2004 Peterbilt semi driven by 61-year-old Gordon Budt of Cook, Nebraska.

Budt did not stop at the accident scene. He continued on southbound on I-35 until he was later apprehended in West Des Moines by the State Patrol.
