GLENWOOD, Ia. — A cyclist was killed in a collision with a pickup truck Sunday morning near Glenwood, at the two-mile marker of U.S. Highway 34, according to Iowa State Patrol.
Wayne Etzell, 72, of Jacksonville, Fla., was going west when a pickup truck hit him from behind at around 6:40 a.m., said Sgt. Nathan Ludwig, spokesman for the Iowa State Patrol.
Rob Philippus, 34, of Glenwood was the driver of the truck. Iowa State Patrol is investigating the accident to determine whether any charges should be made, Ludwig said.
"The driver was just going down the road and didn't see the biker," Ludwig said.
