A man whose pickup truck was stopped mostly on the right front-hand lane of southbound Interstate 35, was struck and killed by a semi, early Sunday morning. The Iowa State Patrol reports 90-year old Bernard Wayne Zelinsky, of Carlisle, was standing outside his 2015 Dodge truck at around 4:20-a.m. near the 13 mile-marker, in Decatur County, when he was struck by a southbound 2015 Peterbilt semi, driven by 53-year old Richard Eugene Brooks, of Albert Lea, MN.

The Patrol says Brooks swerved to miss Zelinsky and his pickup, but sideswiped the pickup. The semi went out of control after the collision and flipped into the median where it landed on the driver’s side. Brooks was not injured in the crash.

The accident remained under investigation.
