****Investigation of Car vs Locomotive Fatality Accident****

On November 10, 2026, at approximately 1:40 p.m., the Jasper County Communications Center received an emergency call reporting a collision involving a passenger vehicle and a locomotive at the Iowa Interstate Railroad crossing located at Jasper County Highway T-12 N and North 39th Avenue E, northeast of Newton.

Upon arrival, law enforcement and emergency medical personnel discovered that the vehicle’s sole occupant, identified as Carl Benskin, 43, of rural Laurel, had been ejected from the vehicle and a portion of his body was pinned under the 1998 Chevrolet Malibu.

Emergency personnel immediately initiated life-saving measures; however, despite their efforts, Benskin was pronounced deceased at the scene. The operator of the locomotive was uninjured.

The Iowa State Patrol is investigating the collision with assistance from the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office, Newton Fire Department, Newton Police Department and the Jasper County Medical Examiner’s Office. The roadway was closed for the investigation, opening at approximately 4:20 p.m.
