He and a friend, Paul Giese, were riding along the roadway when a southbound semi trailer driven by Jimmie Cockrum of Nora Springs attempted to pass . Wasicek reportedly was hit when he swerved in front of the truck.

He was taken to St. Joseph Mercy Hospital and later transferred to Rochester.

Wasicek is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Wasicek, 1367 Plymouth Road.
