A man from Earlham died late Sunday morning, during a collision between his motorcycle and a pickup. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 1983 BMW motorcycle operated by 68-year old Kim Gardner Ferry, of Earlham, was traveling north on Clark Tower Road at around 11:20-a.m., as a 2019 Chevy pickup driven by 56-year old Ricky Dean Kimmel, of Peru, was traveling south on Clark Tower Road.

Kimmel failed to yield, and turned east on Peru Road in front of the motorcycle. Both vehicles came to rest in the intersection. Ferry died from his injuries. The accident remains under investigation.

The Madison County Sheriff’s Office and Madison County Ambulance assisted at the scene.
