Todd E. Engle, 48, Warsaw, was northbound on Country Club Road just north of CR 500 South at approximately 7:32 a.m. A deer ran out onto the roadway and collided with his 2005 Yamaha V Star motorcycle, causing it to skid off the west side of the roadway into a ditch area. Engle was entangled with both the deer and motorcycle until passing motorist and emergency personal arrived. Engle was airlifted from the scene by Samaritan and transported to Parkview Regional Medical Center in serious condition with extensive leg injuries as well as lacerations. The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department was assisted at the scene by the Kosciusko County Fatal Alcohol Crash Team, Warsaw-Wayne Township Fire Department, and Multi-Township E.M.S.
