(Northern & Eastern Iowa) – Two people died in separate Iowa accidents Saturday night. According to the Iowa State Patrol, a collision in Humboldt County between a Suzuki motorcycle and a Toyota Corolla claimed the life of the female motorcyclist. Authorities say the car was northbound on Highway 169 north of Humboldt at around 8:12-p.m., when it pulled into the left lane to make a left-hand turn at 1731 Lincoln Avenue (Hwy 169), when the vehicle struck the motorcycle head-on, as it was traveling southbound on the highway.  The operator of the motorcycle, 40-year-old Angela Zeigler, of Humboldt, died at the scene. The driver of the car, 56-year-old Reggie Clark, of Humboldt, was not injured.

The second accident happened at around 8:05-p.m. Saturday, in Jones County. The Patrol says a 2020 Polaris ATV was traveling north on the Old Dubuque Road near Davidson Road, north of Anamosa, when the machine went out of control. The ATV rolled onto its driver’s side into the east ditch, causing fatal injuries to the operator of the machine. Their name was being withheld, pending notification of family.

The crash remains under investigation.
