Three flown to Regions following separate weekend 'cycle accidents
Two people from Prescott and a third individual from Minnesota were air-lifted to Regions Hospital in St. Paul following a pair of motorcycle accidents over the weekend.
Jeffrey French, 46, and Jeannie Maurer, 49, both of Prescott, were flown by separate helicopters about 9:30 p.m., Friday, after their northbound motorcyle struck the side of a vehicle which had pulled from the stop sign at CTH E and Hwy. 35 in the town of Oak Grove.
Deputy Jean Spletstoser with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department said in a news release that a vehicle operated by Nathan Warzon, 22, of River Falls, was southbound on CTH E, had made a proper stop but then pulled into the path of the motorcycle as he began his left turn onto Hwy. 35.
Warzon wasn't injured and Spletstoser indicated that alcohol did not appear to have been a factor in the crash.
Deputies were assisted by Prescott fire and ambulance, River Falls paramedics, the State Patrol, North Memorial and Life-Link air ambulance services.
Mark W. Warner, 61, of Belle Plain, Minn., was injured early Saturday afternoon after his motorcycle left CTH A in a curve, about a mile south of Hwy. 10.
Warner was flown directly to Regions with assistance from the Ellsworth Area Ambulance Service and Ellsworth firefighters, according to Deputy Steve Albarado. - See more at: http://www.piercecountyherald.com/content/three-flown-regions-following-separate-weekend-cycle-accidents#sthash.Fu8U1vuX.dpuf
