Two people who were riding a motorcycle died Saturday, when the 2017 Harley Davidson motorcycle they were on struck a car. The accident happened at around 1:30-p.m. on Highway 14, north of G-44, in Marion County. The State Patrol say a 2015 Chevrolet driven by 40-year-old Jonathan Slover, of Burlington, and a 2008 Chevy driven by 27-year-old Alli Souhrada, of Allison, were both northbound on the highway.
When Slover stopped and waited to turn west into a driveway, Souhrada failed to see he had slowed down, and struck Slover’s car in the rear. The motorcycle, occupied by 74-year-old Lloyd Hedrick and 60-year-old Lisa L. Wilmes, both of Indianola, was traveling southbound on the highway. Hedrick rapidly slowed down, but was unable to avoid hitting the car driven by Souhrada. They died from their injuries at the Knoxville Hospital.

(Radio Iowa) – The World Pork Expo wrapped up its three-day run at the Iowa State Fairgrounds Friday afternoon, and organizers say there was much political discussion among producers at this year’s event. Jen Sorenson of Ankeny, president of the National Pork Producers Council, says they’re lobbying the Biden Administration to appeal the court ruling that will slow down line speeds at pork processing plants beginning July 1st.
“While overall U.S. pork harvest capacity will drop 2.5% because of this decision, capacity at six plants running NSIS (New Swine Slaughter Inspection System) line speeds will decline by as much as 25%,” Sorenson says. “Hog farmers are expected to lose more than $80-million this year alone because of this decision.”
The council wants the U-S to sign on to become a member of the Comprehensive and Progressive Transpacific Partnership agreement but Sorenson doesn’t expect it to happen this year with the focus on economic and pandemic recovery. Sorenson says expanding international markets is another priority.
“NPPC has been pressing both the U.S. and Philippines government to lower pork import tariffs as African swine fever outbreaks began in the Philippines,” Sorenson says. “NPPC is also encouraging expansion to Vietnam, another major pork-consuming nation dealing with African swine fever.”
Sorenson says the pork producers are joining the American Farm Bureau in legal action to get California to remove its Proposition 12, which dictates housing measures to pork and poultry producers.
