A Creston man died in an accident between a motorcyle and pickup on Tuesday evening. The Iowa State Patrol reports the accident happened at about 8:36 p.m. on High and Dry Road south of 250th street.

A 2013 Harley Davidson BCN driven by 44-year-old Richard W Starlin of Creston was traveling northbound on High and Dry Road and crested a hill. The motorcyle was traveling at a higher rate of speed than a 2005 Toyota Tacoma driven by 52-year-old Thaddeus M Sickels of Creston who was also northbound just over the crest of the hill. Starlin attempted to brake but struck the rear of the truck with the front fender of the motorcycle. The bike came skidding to a stop in the northbound lane. Sickels turned around to assist Starlin but he suffered fatal injuries from the crash.

Starlin was eventually transported to Powers Funeral Home by Creston EMS. Both vehicles were towed from the scene.
