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.
I am a bit disappointed in the non-factual opinions in this article.
I know David and the events of this accident and there was no alcohol involved. It seems whenever there is a motorcycle accident the first thing folks jump to is the alcohol issue….. they are all tarred with the same brush.
Publishing things like this taint his name and cause false impressions to be made by those that may not know all the facts. It is unnecessary.
And as far as I am aware, Utah does not require a helmet to be worn on motorcycles. Another unnecessary comment used to inflame and impiune.
Journalists and reporters need to get back to the facts and quit trying to tantalize viewers with innuendo.
