When you are driving a motorcycle, it is crucial to watch the road and anticipate hazards. However, sometimes there are situations where there is nothing you can do.
A group of 10 motorcycles were traveling northbound on 75th Avenue in Brockway Township when the dog ran out into the street, according to the news release. The motorcycles attempted to swerve to miss the dog. However, one motorcycle hit the dog, causing the motorcycle to tip and slide to a stop. The rider and his passenger on the motorcycle, a 46-year-old woman were on the bike. They were riding in the third position on the outside of the traffic lane at the time of the crash. The couple were transported to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
