Cass County Health System (CCHS) spokesperson Ann McCurdy reports that between the CCMH Emergency Department and the First Aid station, about 25 RAGBRAI participants were treated for injuries or health issues, during their ride through Cass County and Atlantic. While no specific information was released due to HIPPA rules, we can tell you that two, older adult males suffered injuries during falls from their bikes in Atlantic and Marne, Sunday, and one-person was injured during a fall on 7th Street near S. Highway 71 (in the area of Walmart), at around 8-a.m. today (Monday).

Atlantic Police Chief Dave Erickson told KJAN News there were no major issues, other than a man who was arrested for OWI Sunday evening, after his vehicle crashed into a RAGBRAI participant’s camper, at 8th and Chestnut Streets, and the three, in-town injuries mentioned.
