The Iowa State Patrol says a Nebraska man was arrested Tuesday night after he crashed his motorcycle into a ditch. Officials say 55-year old Glenn Allen, of Omaha, was traveling at a high rate of speed on his 1996 Ducati M900 cycle when he lost control. The bike crashed at around 9:50-p.m., and came to rest in the west ditch off of Interstate 29 southbound, about 4.5-miles north of Council Bluffs. The cycle was totaled in the crash, with the damage estimated at $4,000. Allen refused medical treatment at the scene. He was charged with OWI/1st offense, Failure to Maintain Control, and Failure to have a Valid License or permit to operate a motor vehicle.
