A Le Mars man died after his pickup struck a grain trailer and caught fire.

The Sioux County Sheriff’s Department says a Le Mars man died in an accident Wednesday afternoon at a rural intersection about three miles south of Maurice.

Fifty-four-year-old Mark Grosenheider was driving a pickup truck when it struck a semi truck pulling a grain trailer fully loaded with feed. The pickup became wedged underneath the grain trailer and was drug for several hundred feet, and then ignited on fire.
