The Harlan Police Department says one person was injured during an accident that occurred last Saturday. Authorities say a 2019 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by Johnathan Moreland, of Bellevue, NE., was traveling east on Cyclone Avenue in Harlan, when Moreland made an emergency braking maneuver, and lost control. The cycle fell onto its left side and skidded down Cyclone Avenue. Moreland slid with the cycle and stopped on the grass at the intersection with 19th Street. Moreland transported himself to the hospital for treatment.

A separate accident June 15th caused damage to five vehicles, but no one was hurt. The Harlan P-D says Nicholas Andersen, of Harlan, was driving a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country van eastbound on Cyclone Avenue, when he fell asleep at the wheel. The van drifted off the road at 1220 Cyclone Avenue and damaged a few trees before continuing through the front yard, a cedar fence and into the driveway at 1214 Cyclone Avenue.

In the driveway, the van hit the front of a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek owned by Bennett Flaherty, of Des Moines, and the side of a 2014 Ford F-150 registered to Jane Smith, of Harlan. The pickup was pushed into a 2015 Chevy Silverado pickup, registered to Matthew Pfadenhauer, of Kiron and then into the yard. When the Chevy spun, it made contact with a 2015 Nissan Altima, owned by Jane Smith, of Harlan. Police took photos of the scene and notified the property owners.
