Authorities say a motorcyclist was injured in a crash Sunday in Jo Daviess County. 73 year old Daniel Kretschmer of Elizabeth was taken to Midwest Medical Center in Galena and subsequently transferred to MercyOne Dubuque Medical Center for treatment of his injuries. According to the Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Department, authorities were dispatched at 12:45 p.m. Sunday for a report of a motorcycle crash with injuries on South Pleasant Hill Road about a quarter-mile north of West Reusch Road in rural Elizabeth. Kretschmer was driving north on South Pleasant Road and traveled over a knoll and partway down a hill when he encountered an unmarked and newly seal-coated stretch of the roadway. Kretschmer lost control of the motorcycle on a curve in the road, and the motorcycle entered a ditch. Kretschmer was ejected and hit an electrical box pedestal and a utility pole.
