Oct. 22—GOSHEN — A motorcyclist was injured Monday afternoon when he swerved to avoid a crash in Goshen.
Police reported that Jason Bures, 38, of Goshen, was traveling northwest on US 33 on a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic 103 at 12:46 p.m. and approaching the intersection at Peddler’s Village Road when a pedestrian appeared in his path and attempted to to turn left. Bures swerved to avoid hitting the pedestrian and fell from his motorcycle.
The pedestrian told police that he waited for traffic to go north and the noise to come to a stop before attempting to turn left, but the light was still yellow and that as he was turning he saw the motorcycle approaching, so he stopped he.
