A man from South Dakota was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Omaha, following a crash on Interstate 29 in Harrison County, Sunday afternoon. The Iowa State Patrol says the accident happened on I-29 southbound near mile marker 92, at around 3:30-p.m.

A 2013 Harley Davidson motorcycle driven by 49-year old Walter Jessup, of Bresford, SD, was traveling in the left lane, when a 2013 Toyota Prius in the right lane front of him, slowed and began to enter the left lane, due to traffic that was backed up ahead.

The cycle struck the Toyota in the rear, driver’s side fender. After the collision, the motorcycle came to rest in the median after flipping end-over-end. The Prius came to rest on the west shoulder of I-29 southbound. Jessup was transported by LifeNet to Bergan Mercy Hospital, in Omaha. The driver of the Toyota, 61-year old Doyle Crume, of Webster, SD, was not injured.
