Witnesses reported Robson began passing multiple vehicles via the westbound lane of traffic. At the intersection of Route 40 and 775th Street, Niebrugge turned north and, while Niebrugge was turning, Robson&#8217;s cycle collided with the Niebrugge vehicle. Robson was ejected from the cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Robson was injured and was taken by Rural Med EMS to HSHS St. Anthony&#8217;s Memorial Hospital in Effingham.
