Iowa High Speed Chase - Fatal Semi Truck Crash
The fatal accident happened at the end of a high speed chase on Interstate 35 with the Iowa State Patrol that spanned across three counties. The high speed chase began in Franklin County where the Iowa State Patrol attempted to make a traffic stop after clocking a 1998 Ford Focus going southbound at 108 mph on I-35.
Troopers said that the suspect ignored lights and sirens and began to drive erratically. The chase continued south when a sheriff’s deputy in Hamilton County laid out stop sticks at the 126 mile marker.
The stop sticks disabled one of the car’s front tires but Korkowski turned off his headlights and continued southbound on I-35 into Story County. Korkowski’s car crossed the median near the 116 mile marker heading into oncoming traffic on the northbound lanes of the interstate. After he missed several vehicles he crashed head on with a semi truck. Korkowski was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The semi truck driver was not injured. The truck accident is still under investigation.
