A motorcyle driver was transported via Mercy One to Mercy Hospital after he lost control and went off the roadway Saturday evening.

The motorcyle, driven by Kevin Mortenson, was traveling south on Highway 5 just south of the Highway 5 and 92 intersection, and lost control crossing traffic before going off other side of the road and flipping. Emergency services secured the driver at the scene before transporting him to the Knoxville Airport where Mercy One finished transport to Des Moines. Knoxville Fire, Knoxville Township Rural Fire, the Knoxville Police Department, and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office were all on scene. Mortenson is currently in critical condition at Mercy Hospital.
