(Le Mars) — Two motorcycles collided Sunday afternoon on Highway 75 north of Le
Mars sending one victim to be life-flighted to a Sioux City hospital. The
accident happened at about 3:15 p.m. The Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office is
reporting the investigation shows that both motorcycles were traveling southbound
just south of 120th Street and Highway 75. One of the motorcycles started to slow

driver of the rear motorcycle was ejected from the motorcycle and sustained head
injuries. The condition of the victim on the rear motorcycle was not known at the
time of the news release. Mercy Air Care did transport the driver of the rear
motorcycle to Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City. The driver of the first
motorcycle sustained minor injuries and was not transported. Assisting at the
scene were the Le Mars Ambulance, Le Mars Fire and Rescue Department, Iowa State
Patrol, and Mercy Air Care. The investigation is ongoing and the names of drivers
will be released by the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office at a later time.
