Two Motorcyclists Killed on Iowa Highways This Week Leading Into Heavy Traffic Holiday

A reminder to people to be motorcyclist aware and extra cautious while traveling this holiday weekend, as two men on motorcycles have been killed this week on Iowa roadways.

On Tuesday in Webster County, a motorcyclist was killed in a collision with a truck.

The Iowa State Patrol identified the victim as 74-year-old Daniel Brown of Webster City. Reportedly, an eastbound 2018 Indian motorcycle operated by Brown collided with a 2010 International straight truck driven by 57-year-old Daniel Lundberg of Lehigh. The Lundberg truck was traveling southbound on Johnson Avenue and was crossing Highway 20 when he reportedly failed to yield the right of way to the Brown motorcycle. Brown was pronounced dead at the accident scene.

In Allamakee County, a 60 year old man driving a Harley hit the back of a trailer that was making a U-Turn in the roadway and was killed.

Both accidents remain under investigation.
