A week ago, at 1:30 AM, I was minding my own business when I noticed a *lot* of flashing blue and red lights zipping by the house, and stopping a few thousand feet up the road. So I grabbed yon camera and went for a stroll and found a bunch of police, firefighters and paramedics dealing with a one-motorcycle accident. I took some photos (none of the injured driver, that would be at best tacky) and submitted them to the local newspaper, and lo and behold they used one for both the web and print editions.

Motorcyclist injured

The driver of this Harley Davidson suffered a broken pelvis and a compound leg fracture after crashing into a cement barrier on SR 102, Saturday morning about 1:30 a.m.  According to Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Lee Perry, David Harris, 49, Tremonton, failed to make a curve and ended striking the barrier with enough force to move it and break the motorcycle’s rim.  He was transported to Bear River Valley Hospital in Tremonton and then moved to Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City.  Perry said alcohol and speed may have been factors in the accident.  An investigation is underway and blood tests taken at the hospital are being reviewed.  Harris was not wearing a helmet, Perry said.
