LOST CREEK -- State Troopers investigating a motorcycle accident on Interstate 79 in Harrison County, Monday morning, say the rider is lucky to have survived the high speed wreck.
Witnesses told the trooper that the bike was attempting to pass another car when the rider lost control, hit the center guardrail and then slid across two lanes of traffic.
The twenty-five-year-old Lewis County man was taken to United Hospital Center with several injuries.
The investigating trooper says the rider had severe damage to his foot and a lot of road rash.
The accident happened around 10:30 a.m. at the 110 mile marker in the southbound lane.
The 2008 Yellow Kawasaki ZX-6R was a total loss.
