A local man was injured on April 30 after he crashed his motorcycle while riding on State Road 135 North.
The crash was reported just before 8 p.m. at the Bean Blossom Overlook, according to an accident report by Brown County Sheriff’s Deputy Josh Stargell.
Dispatch told officers that the driver, Branson Davis, 26, was bleeding profusely. When Stargell and Sgt. Bill Southerland arrived, they saw Davis’ motorcycle on the west side of the road with Davis standing next to it. He told officers that he did not have a helmet on when he crashed and when he realized he was crashing, he covered his head and rolled to protect his head, the report states.
Davis had blood running down both arms and his tan pants were covered in blood. Stargell and Southerland treated Davis’ wounds until EMS arrived, according to the report. Davis reported having right shoulder pain, an injury to his right thumb and two lacerations on his left arm.
He said he was driving south on 135 North when he came around the left curve at the overlook and lost traction due to gravel in the road. His brother was riding with him and called 911, the report said.
Davis was treated at the scene by EMS; then, his mother took him to a hospital.
