RAGBRAI rider run over & dragged in tent Sunday night

http://www.kmaland.com/news/florida-man-seriously-injured-in-campground-accident/article_df09dbae-5261-11e6-bcf8-ebe9a8a5027d.html

The Iowa State Patrol reports a pickup truck hauling a trailer driven by 55-year-old Danny Cardin of Homer, Louisiana pulled into a private drive at the 59er Motel when his trailer left the roadway and struck a tent occupied by 67-year-old James Foley of Middleburg, Florida.

The Cardin pickup continued driving for about 50 feet until the driver parked the unit. Foley and his tent were dragged that distance. A medical helicopter took Foley to the Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha with undisclosed injuries.

Troopers were assisted at the accident scene by deputies from both the Fremont and Page County Sheriff's departments. The emergency call came in at 11:34

Sunday was a terrible day for Florida riders

Florida and the bicycling group. One man killed from Florida and one seriously injured-So sad. I know some riders near me who have ridden the RAGBRAI in years past.
