A man riding a motorcycle died Tuesday evening during a collision with an SUV, in Page County. The Iowa State Patrol has not released the name of the victim, who was riding a 2013 Harley Davidson cycle.

The accident happened at around 5:15-p.m. at the intersection on Highway 2 and C Avenue. Authorities say a 1997 GMC Jimmy driven by 72-year old Micheal Gene Flynn, of Shenandoah, was traveling eastbound on Highway 2 and approaching C Avenue. Flynn slowed to turn left onto C Avenue, when the eastbound cycle behind him braked hard and went left of center as the SUV was turning.

The motorcycle broadsided the SUV on the driver’s side, causing the operator of the cycle to suffer fatal injuries. The driver of the SUV was not hurt.
