A Menahga man was airlifted to the hospital following a motorcycle crash on Sunday, September 1 in Wadena County.

According to the Wadena County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were on patrol at the Nimrod Jubilee Days celebration when they were notified of a motorcycle crash just outside of town. Deputies responded to the scene on County Road 18, just north of County Road 12, and found a motorcycle in the west ditch.
