COBB, Calif. – A local man was injured Wednesday night when his motorcycle collided with a deer.

Brian Hennek, 34, of Cobb suffered moderate injuries, including a cut on his right hip, as a result of the crash, according to a Thursday report from the California Highway Patrol.

The CHP report from Officer Dan Frederick explained that Hennek was riding the motorcycle on a friend's private property – the exact location of which wasn't known – in Cobb at about 10 p.m. Wednesday, when the crash occurred.

Hennek was traveling at an unknown speed when the deer ran into his path, Frederick reported. As a result of colliding with the deer, Hennek was thrown from the motorcycle and suffered the cut hip.

Hennek was transported via air ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, according to Frederick.

Alcohol is not suspected to be a factor in the collision, which Frederick said is still under investigation.
