The crash was called-in at around 6:30-p.m., by a passing motorist who saw the pickup in the ditch. It’s not known when the accident took place. Schochenmaier, who was wearing a seat belt, died at the scene. The State Patrol was assisted by the Guthrie County Medical Examiner and the Johnson Family Funeral Home.
