Winona, MN (KROC-AM News)- A motorcyclist and passenger were hurt after being thrown from their motorcycle in Winona County Saturday afternoon. 

The State Patrol’s crash report indicates 50-year-old James Slotowski and passenger 51-year-old Deanna Slotowski were traveling west on Interstate 90 near the Minnesota-Wisconsin state line when their motorcycle went off the road and crashed in the median around noon. The report says the Chicago residents were ejected from the motorcycle as they were coming up a large hill out of the Mississippi River Valley. 

Both occupants were taken to a La Crosse hospital with what were described as non-life-threatening injuries. The report says both riders were wearing their helmets and that alcohol was not a factor in causing the crash. The Winona County Sheriff’s Office, Nodine/Dakota Fire Department and Tri-State Ambulance also responded to the crash.
