An accident involving a motorcycle trike in Montgomery County, Saturday morning, left the operator seriously injured and his passenger dead. Both were from Stanton. According to the Iowa State Patrol, a 2018 Harley Davidson operated by 66-year-old Wendell Keith Gourley was westbound on Highway 34 at around 10:10-a.m., when a gust of wind pushed the trike off the road to the right. The cycle collided with a cable barrier and six barrier posts before it rolled onto its top.

Wendell Gourley and his passenger, 66-year-old Jeannie Marie Schomburg-Gourley, were ejected from the motorcycle. She died at the scene. Wendell Gourley was transported by Air Med to the UNMC in Omaha. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and Emergency Management assisted the Patrol at the scene.
