A Nebraska man suffered injuries to his hands during a motorcycle accident Saturday afternoon, in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol says 32-year old Daniel J. Garvey, of Omaha, was transported by Council Bluffs Rescue to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs, for treatment following the crash near Iowa Western Community College, at Highway 6 and College Road.

Officials say Garvey was west on Highway 6 at around 2:55-p.m., when his 2009 Buell motorcycle left the road. Garvey over-corrected and laid the cycle on its side. The machine came to rest on the road. Garvey picked his bike up and pushed it a short distance and left it upright on the traveled portion of the road before being helped to the ground by a witness and a volunteer fireman. The bike was later moved off the road, prior to authorities arriving on the scene.
