The former reality TV star was in possession of alcoholic beverage containers at the time of the crash, according to a court document obtained by NBC News.

Soules is best known as the farmer who tried to find love as "The Bachelor" on Season 19 of the hit ABC show. At the end of his season, he proposed to contestant Whitney Bischoff, but the two later broke off the engagement.

Soules' attorneys addressed the crash in a statement sent to NBC News.

"Chris Soules was involved in an accident Monday evening in a rural part of Iowa near his home," the statement read. "He was devastated to learn that Kenneth Mosher, the other person in the accident, passed away. His thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Mosher's family."

Police haven't released any further information to NBC News. Soules was in court for his arraignment on Tuesday.
