A motorcycle versus SUV collision Tuesday night in eastern Madison County has claimed the life of a Polk County man. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2001 Honda motorcycle operated by 51-year old Daniel LeRoy Conrad, of West Des Moines, was traveling west on G-14 at around 7:06-p.m., as a 2015 Jeep Cherokee driven by 41-year old Tiffany Sue Lensch, of Bettendorf, was traveling eastbound in the west bound lane.

As the motorcycle rounded a curve in the road, it struck the SUV, causing Conrad to suffer fatal injuries. Both vehicles came to rest in the south ditch. Lensch refused medical treatment at the scene. The accident remains under investigation.

The Iowa State Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Madison County Sheriff’s Department, Madison County Fire, and Norwalk Ambulance.
