An accident involving a motorcycle and a semi on Interstate 80 in Adair County, resulted in an Ohio man being sent to the hospital late this (Thursday) morning. The Iowa State Patrol says 60-year old John L. Harris, of Springfield, OH, was riding his 2012 motorcycle east on I-80 about a mile west of the Casey exit at around 11:10-a.m.

As he was in  the left lane passing a non-contact orange-colored semi, the semi moved into the side of the cycle. When he attempted to avoid a collision, the cycle entered the median and went out of control and came to rest on its side in the median. Harris was transported to the Guthrie County Hospital by Adair Rescue.

The patrol says the semi failed to stop and continued eastbound on I-80.
