COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - A 29-year-old motorcyclist has died after his bike collided with a car in Council Bluffs.

The Iowa State Patrol says Eric Scott Jacobsen of Council Bluffs was pronounced dead at the scene of Saturday's crash on Old Railroad Highway.

Authorities say his motorcycle struck the passenger side of a Honda Civic after the car's driver failed to yield and turned left onto 205th Street.

Police say Jacobsen was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

The car's driver, 44-year-old Annette Louise Goeser of Council Bluffs, told police that she didn't see the motorcycle before she turned.

She and two teenage passengers were transported to an area hospital with injuries. Their conditions were not immediately available.
