Noah Allen Raatz hospitalized after motorcycle crash in Wabasha, Minnesota

A 19‑year‑old motorcyclist, Noah Allen Raatz of Glenville, crashed on Highway 60 just west of Wabasha, Minnesota, after leaving the curvy two‑lane road and striking a guardrail. The crash occurred shortly after 6:15 p.m. on Saturday. Raatz, who was wearing a helmet and was not under the influence of alcohol, was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester with non‑life‑threatening injuries. The Minnesota State Patrol, Wabasha County Sheriff’s Office, Wabasha Police Department, and Wabasha Ambulance responded, and a Mayo Clinic “Mayo One” helicopter was dispatched to the scene, though it is unclear whether the helicopter transported the teen.

The incident was reported by local radio station KROC‑AM and involved only the single motorcyclist.
