A La Porte City man who was injured last month in a bike crash has died.
Jeffery “Touie” Lutgen died Sunday at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City where he had been since the accident. He was 52.
Lutgen was riding shortly after 10 p.m. Sept. 30 when his bicycle wiped out in the area of Commercial Street and Highway 218, and he fell and hit his head, according to La Porte City Police Chief Larry Feaker. He said a neighbor witnessed the accident and called for help.
Lutgen had been involved in a ride earlier in the day and was riding to a friend’s house when he crashed, Feaker said.
Services for Lutgen will be Thursday at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Gilbertville.
