Iowa Motorcycle News – Two dead and three in the hospital after separate motorcycle crashes

A 50 and 51-year old couple died Saturday after the motorcycle they were riding on was hit head-on by a car being driven by Michelle Currier of Preston, Minnesota. Miss Preston is reported to be 38-years of age. The location of this collision was Iowa Highway 139 south of Kendallville, Iowa. The Wiercks are from Fairbank, Minnesota. There is no Iowa State Patrol report and facts sufficient to determine fault was not available. Neither the report from the Des Moines Register or WQOW was specific enough.

[Update: The Iowa State Patrol indicates the Currier vehicle crossed the center line.]

 Kendallville, Iowa is in Winneshiek County. It appears to be an extremely small rural Iowa community.

Kendallville, Iowa 52136 is very small, and sets at the junctions of Iowa Highway 139, 347th Street and 324th Avenue. It’s fairly close to the C. Baker County Park at Bluffton. The accident location appears to be about 6 miles south of the Iowa-Minnesota border.

In another motorcycle accident a 20-year-old Knoxville man had to be airlifted to a hospital after his cycle ran into the back end of a car. It’s reported he wasn’t wearing a helmet and suffered trauma to his head and back.

In a third motorcycle crash the passenger apparently suffered severe head injury when the motorcycle she was riding on crashed in rural Fulton, Illinois. The passenger was airlifted to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, Iowa. The driver was taken by ambulance to a Mercy Hospital. There is no report on their names or whether either was wearing helmets. Fulton, Illinois is in Whiteside County.  This collision is reported by WQAD.
