(Des Moines, IA) — A 41-year-old man from Des Moines tragically lost his life in a traffic accident involving a motorcycle and a Jeep around 2 p.m. on Sunday. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead upon arrival at a local hospital. Preliminary investigations suggest the motorcycle was traveling eastbound on East University Avenue when it collided with the passenger side of a westbound Jeep.
