Chief Tom O’Donohue reports that Golden Valley Fire Department assisted Bullhead City Fire on a multiple patient motorcycle accident on west bound Hwy-68 Friday afternoon at 1:30 pm. An organized group of motorcyclists from Phoenix were traveling together when at least one rider came into contact with a vehicle reportedly traveling in the same direction. A second rider reportedly tried to avoid the collision that sent the first rider into and over the west guardrail where firefighters discovered him deceased about 50-feet over the embankment. The second motorcyclist was treated by firefighter paramedics and transported to a waiting helicopter for transport to a trauma facility in Las Vegas. A growing brush fire was extinguished that began as a result of the motorcycle that crashed into the guardrail. Hwy-68 traffic was slowed for well over an hour while DPS investigated the scene.
