One person was injured when a motorcycle tangled with a bale wagon in the 2800 block of Stoltz Hill Road shortly after 2 p.m. on Saturday.
According to the Linn County Sheriff's Office, the motorcycle ran into the bale wagon, driven by Paul Hageman, 66, when the wagon turned left across the oncoming lane into a driveway.
In preparing for the turn, the wagon pulled wide to the right. Motorcyclist Wesley Collins, 32, thought the wagon was pulling over to let him by and was passing when the wagon swung left.
The motorcycle passenger's helmet clipped the mirror on the wagon and came off.
The passenger, Connor Teckfelder, a juvenile, was transported to Samaritan Regional Medical Center by Lebanon medics. He was no longer there on Monday. No other information was available from the hospital.
Neither driver was cited.
A bale wagon, also known as a hay hauler, is a specialized farm tractor.
Lebanon police officers assisted with traffic control at the scene.
