HUDSON, KAN. -- A 32-year-old man was injured Monday morning after his motorcycle struck an armadillo west of Hudson in Stafford County.
At 7:40 a.m., Jeremy K. Krankenberg was westbound on Northeast 100th Street, about three miles west of Hudson, when his 2009 Buell motorcycle struck an armadillo. Krankenberg lost control of the bike and laid it over, the Kansas Highway Patrol reported.
Krankenberg was taken to Great Bend Regional Hospital with serious injuries, according to the patrol. A hospital spokesperson reported Krankenberg has been treated and released.
The patrol's report did not indicate whether Krankenberg was wearing a helmet.
I barely felt it either. It happened so fast all I tried to do was hit him square on and go over the top of him. All I remember is the front wheel hitting him, then obviously my helmet bounced off the pavement and knocked me out. How fast were you going when you hit yours? I was about 93mph.
