Polk City man dies in accident near Audubon

April 17, 2015 By Radio Iowa Contributor

Police CarA central Iowa man was killed, two other men were hurt, in a collision Thursday night involving a pickup truck and a tractor pulling a planter. The accident happened at around 7 p.m. on Highway 71 near the intersection with 170th Street, about 2 miles north of Audubon.

The Iowa State Patrol says the driver of a 2013 Chevy pickup, 42-year-old Kurt Robert Sulzman, of Polk City, who was wearing his seat belt, died in the crash. Officials say Sulzman was traveling northbound at the same time a John Deere tractor driven by 45-year-old Cory David Handlos, of Audubon, was traveling southbound. The tractor was pulling a planter. After the vehicles collided, each ended up in the southeast ditch near the intersection.

Handlos, and a passenger in the pickup, 24-year-old Caleb Shawn Deist, of Grimes, who was wearing his seatbelt, were transported to the Audubon County. Deist was later flown by helicopter to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines.
