Crawford County authorities have completed their investigation of a two motorcycle accident last Sunday in which two people including a Lawrence County man were injured. According to the sheriffs department, 49 year old Chad Chase from Lawrenceville and 45 year old Justin Lynn of rural Robinson were riding their motorcycles west on a rural county road. Chase lost control of his cycle after the brakes locked up and it skidded over 200 feet with Chase being thrown off. He was then struck by Lynn. Both were hurt in the mishap. Chase was initially taken to Crawford Memorial Hospital in Robinson and later airlifted to Carle Hospital in Champaign-Urbana. Lynn refused medical treatment at the scene but later went to Crawford Memorial Hospital by private vehicle.
