'Bachelor' star Chris Soules deletes his Instagram account after fatal car crash


Chris Soules is making his social media presence a little less known following his recent arrest early Tuesday morning.

According to police, Soules fled the scene of a car collision that occurred around 8:20 p.m. on Monday. The Iowa State Patrol crash report claims that Soules was driving a Chevy pickup truck when he allegedly rear-ended a John Deere tractor trailer. The person driving the tractor trailer, identified as Kenneth Moser, was taken in an ambulance to the hospital, where he died.

Soules, a farmer in Iowa, often posted photos to Instagram of himself posing with John Deere tractors. Earlier this month, he also shared an image of his Chevy truck, with the caption: "This is not a promo for @ChevyTrucks... just another day in #godscountry #farmlife #Iowa."

Soules' rep, Stan Rosenfield, also released a statement to ET following the 35-year-old reality star's release from jail. "Chris Soules was involved in an accident on Monday evening, April 24, in a rural part of Iowa near his home," reads the statement. "He was devastated to learn that Kenneth Mosher, the other person in the accident, passed away. His thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Mosher's family."
