A 39-year-old Salem man declined hospital treatment after his motorcycle crashed into a tree Friday morning that had fallen across the 1600 block of Green Street Road east of Central City.
Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies say Jason Lewis of Lowell Street was unable to stop in time to avoid the large tree that was blocking the road.
He called the sheriff’s department to report the crash and downed tree at 7:15 Friday morning about an hour after the severe weather had moved through the area that caused multiple roads to be blocked by downed trees.
