(Clear Lake, Iowa) – A pair of motorcycles collided this (Wednesday) morning in northern Iowa’s Cerro Gordo County, resulting in one person being hurt. The accident happened at around 9:05-a.m.

According to the Iowa State Patrol, a 2019 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by 80-year-old David Lee Landsteiner, of Fairmont, MN, was eastbound in the outside lane on Highway 18 near 20th Street in Clear Lake. A 2010 Harley Davidson, operated by 81-year-old Gerald Albert Bohlsen, also of Fairmont, was following the first motorcycle, when Landsteiner began to stop for a red traffic light.

When Bohlsen failed to notice Landsteiner was stopping, he swerved to the right, but struck the first cycle on the passenger side fender. A passenger on the first motorcycle, 79-year-old Bonnie Landsteiner, of Fairmont, MN, was not thrown from the cycle, but she was injured.

Both operators were tossed from their machines and came to rest in the middle of the intersection.
