A 16 year old Murfreesboro boy was airlifted after a motorcycle crash Saturday afternoon on Dale Ridge Road.
Trooper T.J. Withers of the Tennessee Highway Patrol said the teen was traveling north on a Kawasaki motorcycle when he failed to negotiate a curve and slid into a guardrail. The force of the impact broke the bike into two parts.
The teen was airlifted from near the scene and flown to Vanderbilt Hospital.
Members of DeKalb EMS, the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department, and Sheriff’s Department were on the scene.
