MANSON, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a bicyclist has been killed in northern Iowa following a collision with a vehicle that also injured another bicyclist. The Iowa State Patrol says 47-year-old Shawn Gosch, of Onawa, was riding a bicycle Friday morning near Manson when he was hit from behind by a vehicle driven by 30-year-old Eric Meyer, of Lake View.

The collision caused the bicycle of 49-year-old Jeffrey Gray, also of Onawa, to be hit. He was thrown into a ditch. Gosch was pronounced dead at a hospital. Gray was taken to another hospital with non-life threatening injuries. It’s unclear if Meyer was hurt.
