KeithR Posted June 29, 2011 Share #1 Posted June 29, 2011 There was an accident just outside of the town I live in a couple of days ago. All I can find out is it was a Black Venture from Ontario. As far as I know the rider is in the hospital but I have no info. If anyone knows of anyone travelling in this area that may need some help or is a member here please let me know if there is anything I can do! Keith From CBC A motorcycle accident in central Newfoundland sent the driver to hospital Tuesday afternoon. The RCMP in Grand Falls-Windsor says police responded to the accident at about 1 p.m. on the Trans Canada Highway just outside of Red Cliff. The 56-year-old man was eventually airlifted to St. John's. The RCMP says the resident of Ontario lost control of the bike and went off the road at the intersection to Red Cliff. The investigation continues into what caused the crash. There hasn't been any word on the extent of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithR Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted July 1, 2011 They are doing an mechanical inspection of the bike. Where he had the accident was a straight stretch 4-5 Km's and one exit that is not real busy. If I hear anything I'll post it here. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted July 5, 2011 Share #13 Posted July 5, 2011 I had posted a comment on the newspaper site and they responded saying they couldn't release the name because the family had not been contacted yet. Don't know if they will update the story with the name since it is "last week's news". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
