The Lifelink helicopter lands to transport an injured motorcycle driver to the hospital.
The Life Link III helicopter responded to a motorcycle crash Sunday, July 7, in Twin Lakes Township.
Stone River Boulanger was injured when his motorcycle apparently spun out at the end of his driveway on the 1500 block of Lakeridge Trail.
According to the state of Minnesota public crash report, Boulanger's wife reported the accident at 4:01 p.m. Sunday. When deputies from the Carlton County Sheriff's Office arrived, Boulanger was sitting on the bike, but was confused about how he crashed and didn't remember getting on the motorcycle. His wife said she heard him leave and "peel out" in the driveway, then observed him lying in the driveway. He had walked back to the motorcycle but refused to get into the car to go to the hospital.
Boulanger was not wearing a helmet. He was transported to an ambulance, then airlifted via helicopter to the St. Luke's Hospital in Duluth. He was listed in fair condition Wednesday.
