Sept. 1, at approximately 3 p.m., Wayne Sorgdrager, 44, of Hartley, was operating a 1996 Honda Shadow motorcycle in the 3100 mile of 330th Avenue near Lost Island. Sorgdrager failed to negotiate the curve while traveling southbound, leaving the roadway and entering the west ditch. During the incident, Sorgdrager’s motorcycle struck the ditch, throwing him from the bike where he landed in the ditch. The motorcycle came to rest just short of his landing location.
