In September, Soules opened up about the accident for the first time, saying that he thinks about it daily.
“The trauma of being involved in the accident is something I cannot describe,” he said. “There is not a day that goes by that I don’t wish I could have done more or change the outcome of what happened. My outlook on life has changed forever.”
The Fatal Crash Haunts Soules Everyday
In Aurora, Iowa, Soules’ pick-up truck hit a tractor, killing the driver, 66-year-old Kenneth Mosher. Soules received a charge of leaving the scene of a fatal crash. He pleaded guilty in November 2018 to an aggravated misdemeanor charge of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in serious injury. Soules agreed to pay a $625 fine in addition to his two-year suspended sentence.
According to PopCulture, due to a civil settlement with Mosher’s family, certain details of the accident cannot be discussed. Soules did say that he began to administer CPR to Mosher when he could after the crash. He called an attorney when he got home. His plea deal amended the charge to an aggravated misdemeanor after he was charged with leaving the scene of a fatal crash.
“I saw some dark times,” Soules said. “I’m in the middle of nowhere as it is and I was even deeper in the isolation and the guilt. I thought many times that it would have been easier on the other side.”
He added that he will live with what happened forever. He says he will carry on and do something bigger and better with his life as a result of this tragedy.
