(Menlo, Iowa) – The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following what was described as a “slow-speed” collision Sunday afternoon between two Harley Davidson motorcycles, near Menlo. Authorities say a 2014 Harley being operated by 45-year-old Andrea Lee Goins, of DeSoto, and a 2021 Harley operated by 52-year-old Jeffrey Lane Ockerman, of Adel, were traveling west on White Pole Road and coming into Menlo at around 3:20-p.m.

Goins said when she saw Ockerman’s cycle, it appeared that it was going to turn north onto McPherson Street, and that it then looked like Ockerman changed his mind. Goins pulled-up behind the other motorcycle because she thought it was going straight, but then the other Harley proceeded to turn north onto McPherson. The right front side of the cycle struck the left rear side of Goins’ cycle.

Ockerman’s motorcycle then tipped over onto its right side and slid on the road. When a Guthrie County Deputy arrived on the scene, he observed both cycles were off on the shoulder of the road. Both machines had sustained damage amounting to $3,500 altogether.
