(KNSI) — A 54-year-old Avon man is hospitalized after his motorcycle collided with an SUV north of Cold Spring Tuesday afternoon.
The Stearns County Sheriff’s Office says the crash happened just before 4:00 at County Road 50 and County Road 160 in Wakefield Township.
Investigators say the motorcyclist was riding north on County Road 50 when a southbound SUV turned east onto County Road 160 and into his path. The SUV driver reportedly did not see the motorcycle. The motorcycle struck the passenger-side quarter panel of the SUV, and the rider was thrown over the hood and onto the shoulder of the road.
The motorcyclist was not wearing a helmet and was airlifted to CentraCare-St. Cloud Hospital for treatment of his injuries. His condition has not been released.
Neither the 17-year-old SUV driver nor his 15-year-old passenger were hurt.
The crash remains under investigation.
