CEDARBURG, Wis. -- A motorcyclist died on Sunday after he collided with a vehicle being driven by an accused drunken driver, police said.
Cedarburg police said the motorcyclist was on Wauwatosa Road near Sherman when a car made a turn and hit the motorcycle.
The motorcyclist, Master Sgt. Patrick LaLonde with the 128th Air Refueling Wing, died at the scene.
Late Monday afternoon, prosecutors charged John Kastelic with killing LaLonde.
According to the criminal complaint, Kastelic failed several sobriety tests given to him on the scene. He is charged with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle and hit and run resulting in death.
LaLonde had been with the 128th for 18 years. He was a full-time active duty guard.
I mentioned in an earlier post that I was going to the Annual Side Car Rally in Anamosa, IA last weekend. I had to share this picture with you from the Museum.
Fall Colors
If anything good can come out of the end of summer, it's the fall colors. I really looking forward to taking a ride this fall to check out the foliage. If you know of a great route, let me know! I'm keeping my eye on the fall color report
