A collision between a pickup and a mountain bicycle Friday evening in Carroll County has left one person dead. The Iowa State Patrol says 60-year old Joleen Marie Stork, of Glidden, died in the crash that happened in a rural area northeast of Lidderdale, at around 6:40-p.m.

Authorities say 83-year old Walter James Wenck, of Carroll, was heading west on Carroll County road E-26, just east of Sycamore Road, and failed to see the westbound Mongoose mountain bicycle Stork was riding.

Wenck’s 2005 Chevy Silverado pickup struck the bike from behind, causing Stork to be thrown from the bicycle. She landed in the north ditch and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Carroll County Coroner.
