• Bridge inspection may hamper traffic on Osceola bridge
• Drowning takes Glenwood City man's life

A Minnesota man was airlifted to Regions Hospital in St. Paul with what Wisconsin State Patrol officials said were life-threatening injuries following single motorcycle accident in Dunn County on Sunday.

Wisconsin State Patrol officials say that Gregory May, 41, Grasston, Minn., was driving a 2003 Harley-Davidson motorcycle on Highway 170 when the accident occurred at around 4:25 p.m. near Dunn County Road D, west of Colfax.

On Monday morning a Regions' spokesperson reported that May's condition was listed as critical.

The passenger on the motorcycle, Barbara Kelly, 46, Stillwater, Minn., was taken to Luther Hospital in Eau Claire with what authorities described as non-life threatening injuries. It is the policy of Luther Hospital not to release information regarding the status of patients there.

State Patrol officials are continuing their investigation into the accident.

A routine inspection and planned maintenance may cause some delays for motorists on the Osceola Bridge, according to officials with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

DOT officials say that the inspections and maintenance will take place on Tuesday and that traffic on the bridge will be reduced to one lane from 7 a.m. - 3 p.m.

A rural Glenwood City man drowned Sunday, July 20, at Glen Hills County Park south of Glenwood City.

The St. Croix County Sheriff's Department was dispatched to the park around 5:05 p.m. Sunday for a possible drowning at the swimming beach.

Filadelfo Hernandez-Cuagquehua, 20, was swimming with a group of people when he apparently swam to a bouy marking the edge of the swimming area. He was unable to swim back to shore and showed signs of distress.

Nearby boaters attempted to throw him a life preserver, but he went under the water and was not seen for quite some time, according to the Sheriff's report.

He was pulled from the water by members of the Glenwood City Fire Department and Glenwood City EMS, after which CPR was initiated immediately.

He was flown from the scene by LifeLink Helicopter to Regions Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 7 a.m. Monday morning.

This is the second drowning in St. Croix County in 2008. The incident remains under investigation.
