DEKALB CO., Ind. (ADAMS) – The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a crash that sent a motorcyclist to the hospital Saturday night.
It happened around 9:45 p.m. when a motorcyclist was traveling eastbound on the 1500 block of County Road 56.
The driver, identified as 35-year-old Eric Huff, attempted to slow down, but marks on the roadway suggested the brakes locked, according to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department.
Police say that caused the bike to turn and skid backwards hitting the side of the road. The impact threw Huff off the motorcycle.
Medics transported Huff to a hospital with severe bleeding from a head injury and injuries to his face. Police said Huff was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. They do not believe alcohol is a factor in the crash. It remains under investigation.
