RURAL MASON CITY – A Clear Lake man was hurt when the truck he was driving was struck by a train.
The incident took place Wednesday, October 25, around 3:39 PM, when 81-year-old Charles Kuhlemeier of Clear Lake was driving a 2005 Mack truck southbound on Spruce Avenue north of 305th Street.

I appreciate the fact that he is still at it at 80 and still working. We don’t know the whole story here so don’t throw stones. More teen age kids to 30 year olds are more likely to have an accident like this than older people.
As a welfare farmer you think he would hire a chap to pilot his rig – 80 and still a cheapo.
And that’s a cheap shot !!!
What will you be doing when you are 81? Still a comment cowboy, or dirt nap?
