DAVENPORT, Iowa — A 19-year-old is in the hospital with serious injuries after a crash at the Mississippi Valley Fair Wednesday night.

According to the Davenport Police Department, at about 11:23 p.m. on August 3, police, fire and EMS were dispatched to the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds' southwest parking lot after it was reported that someone had been hit by a car.

When they arrived, officers found a 19-year-old man who had suffered life-threatening injuries. He was rushed to the hospital before being airlifted to another facility by Medforce.

Later, in an August 9 press release, police identified the man to be Stockton, Iowa resident Owen Logemann. Authorities say that he was lying on the ground in front of a row of parked cars at the time of the incident.

DPD says that there is no evidence of criminal violations on the driver's part.
