Noe said Rick Bledsoe was injured in the crash after his 2011 Kawasaki motorcycle and another vehicle made contact.
Noe said Bledsoe rear-ended a 1990 Isuzu Trooper operated by Kenneth Mann Jr., of Wallins.
Bledsoe was transported to Harlan ARH Hospital by LifeCare Ambulance Service. A passenger in Mann's vehicle, Kimberly Shipman, was taken to the hospital by private vehicle for treatment.
Bledsoe was later airlifted to a trauma center. His condition is not available.
Noe was assisted by officer John Brown and the Harlan County Sheriff's Office.
