Two people were flown to a Houston area trauma center on Saturday night after a motorcycle pile-up on SH 321, a mile south of FM 1008 between Tarkington and Dayton.
As per the initial information, the three motorcycles were part of a larger group of motorcycles that were heading southbound along SH 321 at about 9:54 p.m. The preliminary reports showed that multiple motorcycles were coming back from a benefit somewhere. For unknown reasons, they started pulling over on the shoulder of the road.
Just then, one of the motorcycles, a trike, struck two other motorcycles. The driver and the passenger of the trike received serious injuries as a result of the crash. The driver of the trike, described as a 62-year-old Dayton man, and his passenger, identified as a 59-year-old Dayton woman, were flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston via Life Flight.
The drivers of the other motorcycles, including 36-year-old Earl Thrasher III, of Highlands, and River Goodwin, of Houston, escaped serious injuries. Goodwin was arrested for traffic warrants. Reports further revealed that none of the motorcyclists involved in the wreck was wearing helmets.
An investigation is ongoing at this time.
