A group of motorcycles was eastbound on State Highway 33 and began slowing in traffic, possibly due to a passenger vehicle slowing to turn into a driveway.  The involved motorcycle lost control and both occupants were ejected from the motorcycle.

 The operator, a 42-year-old Beaver Dam man, was flow by UW Med Flight to a level 2 trauma center with life-threatening injuries.

 A 50-year-old female passenger, also from Beaver Dam, died at the landing zone site, which had been established nearby at the Dodge County Fairgrounds.  

Neither occupant was wearing a helmet, which was a factor in the seriousness of the injuries.
