(Spencer)--A Spencer man was seriously injured in an accident Thursday afternoon involving a semi and a motorcycle at the North Y on the north edge of Spencer.

The Iowa State Patrol says shortly after 12 pm,  a 2016 Freightliner semi driven by 52-year-old Kenneth George, of Cedar Rapids, was stopped in the median of U-S Highway 71 and U-S Highway 18, waiting to proceed east onto 320th Street. As the truck entered the intersection, its trailer was struck by a 1956 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by 65-year-old Gerald Fulkner, of Spencer, that was traveling north on Highway 71.

The motorcycle and Fulkner were dragged under the trailer until the semi stopped. Fulkner was transported to the hospital in Spencer and then flown to a hospital in Sioux Falls in serious condition.

The patrol says the crash remains under investigation.

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office and Spencer Police Department assisted at the scene.
