MONROE — A Janesville man was taken by helicopter for emergency treatment following a motorcycle crash in Green County Wednesday, Aug. 31.

According to police reports, the incident happened just after 5:18 p.m.

That is when deputies — along with Albany EMS, Green County Paramedic, and Monticello Fire Department — responded to the W3100 block of County C, in the Town of Mt. Pleasant, for reports of a motorcycle versus truck crash. 

“Investigation revealed that a motorcycle, operated by a 48-year-old Janesville man, was traveling eastbound,” said a press statement from the Green County Sheriff’s Office. “The operator attempted to brake causing the vehicle to lose control and overturn.”

The motorcycle then continued sliding east, before crashing into another vehicle. The driver of the motorcycle, reports indicate, was wearing protective clothing and eye protection, but was not wearing a helmet. 

The second vehicle was operated by Jeffery R. Kubly, 45 of Monroe. Kubly reported backing into a private drive, when the motorcycle collided with his vehicle, police said.

“Kubly reported no injuries, was wearing his seatbelt, and the airbags did not deploy. Kubly’s vehicle sustained functional damage and was driven from the scene,” authorities said.

The damaged motorcycle also was towed from the scene.
