The Associated Press and The Des Moines Register are reporting that the motorcyclist who hit a van carrying the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama earlier this week in northern Iowa has been cited for passing too close to an intersection.

Motorcyclist Timothy Emerson, 41, of Iowa Falls, who was involved in a crash with a campaign van carrying Michelle Obama, was cited by the Franklin County sheriff’s office, the Register reported. No of the six people in the campaign van were injured, and Emerson was treated and released after being airlifted to an area hospital.

The Swamp reported on the crash earlier this week.
