The crash occurred about 15 miles away from the reality star’s farm in Arlington, Iowa.
Chris allegedly took off and was later arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident where a death occurred.
Court documents obtained by KWWL.com claim that alcoholic beverages or containers were found at the scene, but it’s not clear if they were open or if Chris was intoxicated in any way.
