This number of fatalities is four more than it was at the same time in 2011 in the state. The Iowa Department of Transportation offered a reason for the slight increase, and stated that the warmer, nicer weather in the state may have increased the amount of motorcyclists that are out on the roads.

Seven of the motorcycle fatalities occurred in the  month of March in Iowa. Last year, a total of 35 people lost their lives in motorcycle accidents. Motor vehicle drivers are urged to stay alert on Iowa roads, in regards to motorcyclists sharing the roadways during the spring season.

This time the officer was driving his patrol vehicle around 1 a.m. on Tuesday when he struck another vehicle. He continued driving away from the scene of the accident, and did not alert other officers until five hours had passed. The patrol vehicle had two flat tires and body damage.

The officer attempted to fabricate a story to cover up the car accident, but his details were not consistent with the damage to his car. An investigation into the claims revealed his connection with the accident that occurred hours earlier, and different drugs were found inside the vehicle. The amount of drugs that were found were believed to be for personal use.

Two charges were filed against the officer in relation to this early morning accident. He now faces a drug possession charge, as well as a traffic violation charge. The investigation into the crash is currently being handled by the Des Moines police department.

The woman was struck in a crosswalk near Fourth Street and Main Street. The pedestrian accident left the 73-year-old woman with critical head injuries. When emergency responders arrived on the scene, they found the woman surrounded by bystanders who were attempting to help.

She was transported to a local hospital to have her head trauma addressed. She passed away due to complications from her injuries. The 87-year-old Clear Lake man who was operating the truck was not injured in the collision. At this time, no charges have been filed against him.

Our condolences are with the woman’s family and friends during this tragic time.

The simple use of talking on the phone while driving can distract a driver as much as if they were legally intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent. Drivers who send and receive text messages while they are behind the wheel could take their eyes off the road for as long as 4.6 seconds each time. This would be equivalent to driving the length of a football field without looking.

Distracted driving accounts for thousands of deaths and accidents each year in the United States. The month of April has been regarded as the National Distracted Driving Awareness Month by the U.S. Department of Transportation. By informing people of the dangers of distracted driving, the department is hopeful that the number of fatal car accidents associated with this practice can be reduced.

The man was passing through the Main Avenue and Fourth Street when he struck the pedestrian who was walking in the intersection. The 73-year-old woman sustained numerous injuries, largely pertaining to her head. Paramedics brought her to a local hospital so that doctors could attempt to save her life.

The woman died the same day she was admitted into the hospital. Police have plans to recreate the pedestrian accident scene, in order to determine fault in the fatal collision. At this time, the driver has not been charged with a crime.

The problem stems from the battery cable connectors located in the trunks of certain models. BMW 5-and6-Series that were produced between 2004 and 2010 make up the American recall. These cable connectors could potentially have been connected improperly, and therefore pose a threat of overheating and fires.

One case of a fire has been reported so far in the United States. BMW plans on individually notifying the owners of these defective vehicles throughout the month of April.

When emergency personnel arrived on the scene, the motorcyclist was promptly transported to a local hospital in order to receive aid for his severe injuries. Over the weekend in Iowa, police had extra patrol units out in order to prepare for the crowds that St. Patrick’s Day attracts each year.
