TAYCHEEDAH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A crash at a bike race Sunday morning in Fond du Lac County that hospitalized four people.
Just after 9, the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office was called to the area of County Highway WH and McCabe Road in the Taycheedah where there was a bicycle accident.
It involved up to 15 bikers in an area of the road where they were going downhill at around 40 mph. These bikers were part of a group of 50 bikers.
Four people were taken to St. Agnes Hospital in Fond du Lac. No one had life-threatening injuries.
Others injured in the crash had cuts and scrapes and refused treatment.
An investigation determined that two bikers made side-to-side contact, causing them to crash. As the other bikers were very close to those bikers, they ran into each other and crashed.
This happened during Race the Lake, an annual, 88-mile bicycle race around Lake Winnebago.
