At least three people have been hospitalized following a crash along this year's RAGBRAI route.
Gregg Lagan, a spokesman with MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center, said two riders were transported to the hospital in critical condition Tuesday afternoon. One cyclist, a 22-year-old woman, was air-lifted to Des Moines from the crash site, near Indianola.
Lagan said another cyclist— a man whose age is not known— arrived via ground ambulance. No other details were available.
Capt. Brian Sher confirmed that a crash sent one person to Mercy via helicopter, but said another person who suffered head and internal injuries was airlifted to Iowa Methodist Medical Center. Sher said it's unclear what led to the crash.
