LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Lucerne man was injured Monday night when he was involved in a motorcycle crash.
Erik Jones, 44, was flown to a regional trauma center following the wreck, which occurred at 8:10 p.m. Monday, according to the California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office.
The CHP said Jones was riding a 1994 Honda motorcycle eastbound on Highway 20, west of Irvine Avenue in Upper Lake, at approximately 55 miles per hour.
Jones lost control of the motorcycle, which slid to the right shoulder and came to rest against a metal guardrail, the CHP said.
Medical personnel responded to the scene and transported Jones by REACH air ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital where he was treated for moderate injuries, according to the CHP.
On Tuesday Officer Kory Reynolds said the CHP did not have an update on Jones’ condition.
The CHP said Jones was using his safety equipment, and driving under the influence is not suspected as a contributing factor in the wreck.
CHP Officer Piers Pritt is investigating the crash.
