One driver was killed following a passing accident in Monona County Wednesday afternoon. The Iowa State Patrol reports the accident occurred at approximately 2:03 p.m. on Highway 183 southwest of Moorhead. Authorities say a 2014 Jeep Cherokee, driven by 78-year-old Barba Rice of Moorhead, was traveling northbound and behind Rice was 68-year-old Stephen Hendricks of Columbus, Neb. on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and a 2012 Peterbilt semi-tractor trailer, driven by 25-year-old Derek Henschen of Ute and owned by Double D Trucking of Charter Oak. According to law enforcement, Henschen was in the process of passing both the vehicles in front of him when Hendricks also attempted to pass. He did not see the semi in the southbound lane and collided with the cab’s passenger side. Hendricks was ejected from the bike and sustained fatal injuries as a result of the crash.
