A man from Oelwein died during a head-on crash Saturday evening in northeast Iowa’s Clayton County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2003 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by 50-year old David Bushaw, of Oelwein, was westbound on Clayton Road at around 6:20-p.m., as a 1998 Massey Ferguson Farm Tractor driven by 18-year old Joshua Herzog, of Garnavillo, was traveling eastbound.

As the cycle was negotiating a curve in the road, for reasons unknown it crossed the center line and struck the tractor head-on. Bushaw died at the scene. The accident remains under investigation.
