Driver Sustains Minor Injuries In Motorcycle Crash

Buy a print Police officer Mitch Shaw said Frances Rugg, 59, of Paris, the driver of the Honda GoldWing "trike" and her passenger, Donna Turner, 73, of Norway were both thrown from the motorcycle just after 4:30 p.m. when the driver lost control and went off the road near 747 Waterford Road, narrowly missing a telephone pole. Shaw said both were wearing helmets and were semi-conscious when rescue workers arrived. Witnesses at the scene say the motorcycle appeared to have traveled off the road some 30 feet, up a slight embankment and landed upright about two feet from the utility pole. The pair also landed near the pole. Witnesses say they believed the motorcycle rolled before landing upright on lawn. Clumps of grass were hanging under the broken windshield. Both victims were transported to Stephens Memorial Hospital by PACE and Stoneham http://attorney-in-palm-desert.com/more-information/personal-injury/ ambulances.

During an interview last month, Florida State football Coach Jimbo Fisher mentioned that tight end Nick OLeary was in a motorcycle accident, saying he wrecked that daggone scooter and was banged up for about a month. The way Fisher talked about it, it didn't really sound like that big of a deal. But it was. Footage of the accident was released on Thursday, and after watching it, you have to wonder how O'Leary survived at all. As you can see in the video above, which was captured by a bus dashboard-cam, O'Leary is riding down the street when a car pulls out in front of him. O'Leary crashes into the side of the car and the motorcycle disintegrates as O'Leary is sent hurtling down the street. According to police reports, O'Leary actually walked away from the accident, though he had severe bruising.
