The Fremont County, Iowa, Sheriff’s Office reports 86 year-old Howard Carlisle of Tarkio was headed south of Shenandoah, Iowa, on Highway 59 around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, October 18, 2016, when he attempted to pass a 2007 Peterbilt semi operated by 50 year-old Scott Blazer of Mound City, Missouri. Blazer was also attempting to pass a slow moving vehicle, when he swerved to avoid a car entering the roadway from 270th Street. Blazer’s trailer struck Carlisle’s vehicle, causing it to leave the roadway and enter a field southeast of the intersection. Blazer continued south, advising that he did not know he struck the vehicle until a later time.
Carlisle was taken to Shenandoah Medical Center with undisclosed injuries. Charges are currently pending in the investigation.
