horrible news



Our dear friend Jeremy was killed in a motorcycle accident last night. Jeremy was one of the liveliest guys I've ever known - bright, warm, caring. Please be praying for Jeremy's fiance, Tina, and their little boy, Quentin, who turned one this spring, as well as Jeremy's family. They are all so dear to me and Ray.

An Iowa City man was killed and five other people were injured — including three young children — when a motorcycle collided with a car Sunday.

Jeremy R. Brenneman, 23, was pronounced dead after the motorcycle he was driving collided head-on with the car on Highway 965 at Cou Falls Road south of Swisher around 6:30 p.m., according to the Iowa State Patrol. Deputies reported that Brenneman was southbound on Highway 965 when he collided with the car turning west on Cou Falls Road. He was thrown from the bike.

The driver of the car was Mohammed A. Alterbal, 33, of Cedar Rapids. He was injured, along with Lisa Alterbal, 33, Aliyah Alterbal, 3, Hazma Alterbal, 1, and Bethany Campbell, 9, all of Cedar Rapids.

They were all transported to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, where information about their conditions was not immediately available.

An investigation into the incident continues.
