A motorcycle rider was found off the road Sunday morning near Holding Township.

Stearns County Sheriff Don Gudmundson says they found 63-year-old Thomas Skudlarek of Avon in the ditch with his motorcycle damaged. High winds on County Road 151 knocked down a tree, causing Skudlarek to drive over the tree and drive into the ditch to hit a sign and crash into a barbed wire fence.

Skudlarek was taken to St. Cloud Hospital for non-life threatening injures.
