In an update to our story yesterday, Pottawattamie County Chief Deputy Rob Ambrose reports an Atlantic man was injured during a motorcycle accident late Tuesday morning, in Pottawattamie County. 71-year old Paul Fischer was riding a 2009 Kawasaki westbound on Highway 6 at around 11:25-a.m., when his leather coat came loose from the straps and caught the rear wheel. The coat became entangled in the wheel and caused it to lock-up.

Fischer managed to keep the cycle upright until it rolled onto its side on the road in front of 48606 Highway 6. The man was wearing a helmet. Fischer suffered injuries to his face, arms and chest, and was transported by Griswold Rescue to the Cass County Memorial Hospital, in Atlantic. No citations were issued. The cycle sustained about $5,000 damage.
