Article Text:

EAGLE LAKE -- A Rock Island resident was killed when a trailer hit his pickup on U.S. Highway 90 A approximately 4.9 miles west of Eagle Lake Thursday evening.

William Burton Arrison, 42, of Rock Island, was declared dead at 8:51 p.m. at the scene of the wreck. According to a Department of Public Safety report, a homemade flatbed utility trailer separated from a pickup traveling east on the highway and hit Arrison's 1999 Chevrolet pickup, which was moving west. Arrison was ejected from his truck, which rolled over on him, police said.

The trailer was being pulled by a 1997 Chevrolet pickup being driven by Doyle L. Noska, 55, of Columbus, police said. The police report states that the trailer came loose, crossed the centerline of the roadway and struck Arrison's truck.

The load on the trailer then hit a 1993 Buick being driven by Wanda F. Zbranek, 69, of Sheridan, which was traveling behind Arrison.

Arrison was declared dead at the scene of the accident by Justice of the Peace Larry L. Dulany of Colorado County. Zbranek and Noska were not injured in the accident, said police.

DPS Trooper Royce Korenek of the Highway Patrol Columbus office is investigating the accident. DPS Sgt. Gary Chandler of the Columbus office and the Colorado County Sheriff's Department assisted Korenek at the scene.
