A motorcyclist who authorities say was going too fast for conditions, lost control of his machine and suffered undisclosed injuries when he was ejected. The Page County Sheriff’s Office was notified at around 8-a.m. Monday about the crash on M Avenue, near 220th Street, or about a mile southeast of Yorktown. Authorities say 25-year old Daniel Nathan August, of Clarinda, was southbound on M Avenue and attempting to navigate a curve in the road to the left (east), when he braked and skidded on the damp/wet pavement. The motorcycle slid on its side, ejecting August,  who was not wearing a helmet.

He was transported to Clarinda Regional Health Center by Clarinda Ambulance. Damage to the motorcycle is estimated at $ 5,000. The Page County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Clarinda Fire Department and the Clarinda Ambulance service. No citations were issued.
