A man from northwest Iowa died in Dickinson County late Friday night, after the motorcycle he was riding collided with a tractor towing a piece of farm equipment. The Iowa State Patrol says 56-year old Charles Glenn Paine, of Spirit Lake, died at the scene of the crash at around 11:15-p.m. on Highway 9, just west of Highway 86. The Patrol says a Case IH tractor driven by 32-year old Joshua Frank Huff, of Harris, IA, was traveling west on Highway 9 and beginning to turn into a private field drive. The 2003 Harley Davidson Paine was driving was traveling west also, and attempting to overtake the tractor, when his cycle collided with the towed piece of farm equipment as the tractor and implement were turning into the private drive.

Paine died at the scene. Huff was uninjured in the collision. The accident remains under investigation.
