A 61-year-old motorcyclist from New Richmond, Wis., died Sunday of injuries he received in a crash last week in Erin Prairie Township, authorities in St. Croix County said.

The crash occurred about 6:53 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of County Highway T and County Highway G, about eight miles southeast of New Richmond.

Officials say Richard A. VanWagner was driving a 2023 Harley Davidson motorcycle on northbound Highway T, which has a stop sign where it meets Highway G.

Authorities say he failed to yield to traffic traveling on Highway G, which had the right of way. His motorcycle was struck by the driver of a 2006 Buick Lacrosse.

VanWagner was not wearing a helmet and was taken to the hospital where he died of his injuries on Sunday. The driver of the Buick, 19-year-old Cadence T. Miller of Roberts, Wis., was wearing a seatbelt. She was treated at the scene.

The death marks the sixth traffic fatality in St. Croix County this year. Two drivers were killed Friday in a crash in St. Croix County.

The crash remains under investigation.
