The Iowa State Patrol reports a motorcycle versus deer accident Saturday in Crescent caused a Honey Creek man to be hospitalized with incapacitating injuries.

Shortly after 9:00 Saturday morning, 78-year-old Judson Bock of Honey Creek was riding a 2012 Jonway motorcycle south on County Road L-20 approaching Heritage Lane in Crescent when a deer entered the roadway.  He hit the deer after he tried to avoid the collision by swerving to the right. 

Bock sustained incapacitating injuries and was transported to Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha by Crescent Rescue.  An update on his condition is not currently available.

The State Patrol says Bock was wearing his helmet at the time of the crash.  The Pottawatamie County Sheriff’s Office assisted the Iowa State Patrol at the scene.
