IRON MOUNTAIN — A Gaastra man was injured in a motorcycle crash in Felch Township on Sept. 23, according to the Michigan State Police Iron Mountain Post.
Troopers determined that a motorcycle driven by Alfred Drago, 41, was traveling eastbound on Leeman Road and attempted to pass a logging truck in a no passing zone.
Drago ran off the roadway on the north side of the road and lost control of his motorcycle. He was ejected from the motorcycle after it overturned.
Drago was transported to the Dickinson County Hospital for serious non-life-threatening injuries. He was then airlifted to UP Health Systems in Marquette for further treatment.
Drago was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and alcohol is not believed to be a factor. The crash was reported at 9:26 a.m. Troopers were assisted at the scene by Integrity Care EMS, Nordic Ambulance and L.R. Vincent Towing.
