Two injured in bike accidents near Moab
A 53-year-old Colorado man was seriously injured in a mountain-biking accident near Moab.
The Grand County Sheriff's Office said it happened Sunday on the Porcupine Rim trail when the man went over the handlebars of his mountain bike. Search and rescue teams said the man suffered back and cervical and thoracic spinal injuries and had to be flown to a Grand Junction, Colo., hospital for treatment.
A Murray man, 34, was injured on Friday at Top of the World near Moab when he took a turn too fast and lost control of his dirt bike, landing in a wash and shattering his right ankle. He was flown by medical helicopter to Grand Junction, where he is expected to recover, deputies said.
