(Guthrie Center) – A motorcycle accident last week in Guthrie County claimed the life of a man from Dallas County. According to the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office, 59-year-old Brady Brian Patrick, of Linden, was traveling east on 310th Street at around 7-p.m. on August 27th, when his 2005 Harley Davidson motorcycle left the road and entered the north ditch. Patrick was ejected from the machine and suffered severe hear trauma.

Stuart EMS transported Patrick from the scene to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, where he died the following day. A witness to the crash told authorities they were traveling west on 310th Street, and upon entering the first curve, noticed the motorcycle cross the center line of the road. The motorist crossed into the oncoming lane to avoid coming into contact with the cycle. When the motorcycle passed the witness’ pickup truck he saw the cycle begin to wobble and enter the ditch. They turned around and found Patrick in the ditch, before notifying 911.
