(Spencer)– A collision Thursday involving a semi and a motorcycle at the North Y in Spencer sent one person to the hospital with serious injuries.
The Iowa State Patrol says 52-year-old Kenneth Goerg of Cedar Rapids was driving the semi and had stopped at a stop sign in the median before pulling out to turn onto the east beltway. Troopers say 65-year-old Gerald Faulkner of Spencer was driving a 1956 Harley Davidson northbound on Highway 71 when the motorcycle collided with the semi trailer, dragging Faulkner beneath it before it came to a stop.
Faulkner was taken to Spencer Hospital and was transferred by air to a Sioux Falls hospital with serious injuries.
The collision took place a little after 12 noon and remains under investigation.
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office and Spencer Police Department assisted on the scene.
