BURLINGTON, Ky. -- A motorcycle broke in half on impact and a 24-year-old rider was thrown onto the roadway in a high-speed accident, police said.
The rider, Johnathan "Zach" Miller, 24 of Dry Ridge, was going between 70 mph and 80 mph in a curve when he lost control, police said.
The accident happened just before 3 p.m. Wednesday on Camp Ernst Road and Pebble Creek in Burlington.
Miller was flown to University Hospital with a compound leg fracture and other non-life threatening injuries.
After going off the road, Miller traveled about 50 yards in the grass before hitting a large iron pipe protruding from the ground, police said. That split the motorcycle and threw Miller 20 yards through the air, police said.
He was not wearing a helmet.
The speed limit on the road is 45 mph, police said. Talk about 'lucky'. I guess that pipe could have done the same thing to his body.
