In an update to our story posted Sunday afternoon at KJAN.com, the Iowa State Patrol says a couple from New Jersey were injured when the 1999 Harley Davidson touring bike they were riding, crashed about a mile west of the Marne exit on Interstate 80.
The cycle, driven by 37-year old Dominic R. Napoli, of Butler, New Jersey, was traveling west at around 3:30-p.m., and pulling a small trailer. When a tire on the cycle went flat, the driver lost control, causing the bike to leave the road and enter the median, where it overturned. Napoli, and his passenger, 37-year old Jennifer A. Napoli, also from Butler, NJ., suffered incapacitating injuries. Jennifer Napoli suffered from neck and back injuries, while Dominic Napoli had injuries to his head.
Both were transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic. They were later transferred to Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, with the woman taken there by LifeNet helicopter, and the man transported by Medivac Ambulance. Both are expected to recover from their injuries.
