Carson City sheriff’s deputy hurt in motorcycle accident
By Fox-Reno
CARSON CITY — A Carson City deputy was injured in an accident Thursday on Highway 50.
On Oct. 18 at about 4pm, troopers from the Nevada Highway Patrol were dispatched to Lake Tahoe Club Drive and Old Clear Creek Road just south of Highway 50 for a single vehicle motorcycle accident involving a Carson City deputy.
The preliminary investigation indicates that a 2006 black and white, Harley Davidson motorcycle ridden by Deputy McDonald (first name not provided) was traveling southbound on Lake Tahoe Club Drive. For an unknown reason the motorcycle failed to negotiate the curve in the roadway and crossed the double yellow line, struck the northeast curb deflected off the curb, and continued traveled southbound in the northbound travel lane. The motorcycle traveled approximately 104 feet before coming to rest on its left side in the northbound travel lane. The deputy was ejected from the motorcycle and sustained minor injuries.
McDonald was transported to Renown Regional Medical Center via Care Flight where he was treated for his injuries. Speed is believed to be a factor in this accident.
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office was conducting a training exercise at Lake Tahoe Club Drive and Old Clear Creek Road.
Lucky to only have minor injuries!
Would be nice to know if he was given a tox screen and ticketed for speeding or are with sticking with the standard that cops don’t have to follow the same laws as everyone else.
