Della Salla did not have enough room and failed to see the oncoming motorcycle. Della Salla chose to take the opposite ditch to avoid a head-on collision with Moore. Moore attempted to avoid the accident and laid the motorcycle on its side ending up in the ditch. Moore was transported to a local hospital with major injuries. Della Salla was not injured but was cited for unsafe passing.
The accident happened around 7:30 p.m. one mile southeast of Nickerson near Riverton Rd.
