Galesburg Man Killed in Iowa Car Accident
A Galesburg man lost his life after being involved in what turned out to be a three vehicle crash in the Iowa Quad Cities early Sunday evening.

The Iowa State Patrol says the crash happened on U-S 67 near LeClaire, Iowa around 5:30 p.m.

Troopers say a car driven by 45 year old Jean Clark of LeClaire was headed northbound in the 2100 block of 67 while motorcycle driven by 55 year old John Clifford was headed southbound.

They say as Clark attempted to make a left turn, the two vehicles collided, which then caused a vehicle behind Clark's to collide into hers.

Clifford, authorities say, was taken by helicopter to a Davenport hospital where he was pronounced dead.

His passenger, 53 year old Kathy Clifford, is being held in the same Davenport hospital in serious condition.

No one else was injured. It's not clear if any tickets or citations are being issued in the case.
