A 50-year-old man was flown to Carolinas Medical Center from Caldwell County this afternoon after he lost control of his motorcycle and was thrown from the bike, authorities said.
David Morrison, 50, was riding his motorcycle northbound on U.S. 321, near the Catawba County border, at about 2:30 p.m. Thursday when lost control, said Trooper Brad Hyatt of the state Highway Patrol.
Morrison's back wheel locked up, Hyatt said, causing him to lose control. Morrison was thrown from the bike, cracking his helmet in two. Hyatt said Morrison received severe neck and back injuries and was flown to Carolina Medical Center.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash and no one else was injured, Hyatt said.
