The Russell County Sheriff's Department tells us 21 year old William “Colton” Hurt was southbound on U.S. 127 on a 2017 Honda motorcycle when he came across a utility line, a few feet off of the pavement. Hurt was struck in the neck area, knocking him off the motorcycle, onto the pavement.
Hurt was treated on scene by Russell County EMT's, then transported to EMS headquarters where he was airlifted to the U.K. Medical Center. He was released late Saturday and continues home treatment while awaiting surgery.
That accident occurred around 12 noon Friday about 4 miles south of Jamestown and remains under investigation.
