Ida County, IA (October 24, 2024) – A tragic accident occurred on Wednesday evening that resulted in the death of one man and injuries to two children. At approximately 6 p.m., Joshua Fowler, a 29-year-old resident of Holstein, Iowa, was traveling northbound on Carriage Avenue when he rear-ended a grain trailer that was being pulled by a semi-tractor, which was turning west onto 230th Street.
The Iowa State Patrol reported that Fowler was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. The two young girls who were passengers in Fowler’s vehicle sustained injuries and were taken to local hospitals for treatment. One girl was transported to Horn Memorial Hospital in Ida Grove, while the other was flown to MercyOne in Sioux City. It was noted that neither Fowler nor the children were wearing seatbelts at the time of the collision.
