A man was killed after his motorcycle was hit from behind in Wisconsin.

According to an article in the Star Tribune, the man who was killed in the crash was from Vadnais Heights, Minnesota.

“The crash happened at about 4 p.m. Sunday on Highway 10 in Pierce County’s Trimbelle Township,” the article reads.

The Pierce County sheriff’s office identified the man as Michael Edward Joyce, 64. Joyce was reportedly driving his 1969 Harley-Davidson motorcycle when he stopped to make a turn. At that time a 54-year-old Beldenville, Wis., woman driving a 2015 Honda CR-V struck his motorcycle from behind. Joyce was ejected from his motorcycle and later was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.

According to media reports the driver of the other vehicle was treated for non-life threatening injuries at River Falls Area Hospital and was released. No information was released in regards to what type of injuries the woman sustained.

There’s also been no information released in media reports in regards to charges stemming from the incident or whether or not Joyce was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
