(Creston, Iowa) – The Union County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following an accident Thursday morning. Authorities say a 2022 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by 37-year-old Daniel L. Koch, of West Des Moines, was traveling east on Highway 34 at around 8:10-a.m., when a deer ran into the side of the motorcycle. Koch lost control of the cycle, causing it to skid into the path of a 2010 Kenworth semi driven by 44-year-old Steven Robertson, of Rake, Iowa.

The tractor-trailer ran over the motorcycle, totaling the machine ($15,000 value). The semi sustained a bent front bumper that tore a chunk of rubber out of the left front tire, causing it to lose air. The semi, registered to Kuchenbecker Excavating, Inc., of Rake, sustained $2,000 damage. There were no citations issued.
