A car rear-ended a motorcycle Thursday night in central Iowa’s Warren County, leaving the operator of cycle dead. The Iowa State Patrol reports 56-year old James Dugan, of Indianola, died at the scene of the accident, which took place at around 8:30-p.m. on Highway 65, near the intersection with Nevada Street, in Indianola.

Officials say Dugan was southbound on Highway 65 and preparing to turn east onto Nevada Street, when the 1986 Harley Davidson FX-RT he was riding was hit from behind by a southbound 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The driver of the car, 18-year old Austin Beener, of New Virginia, was not injured.

The State Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, Indianola Police and other emergency personnel.
