Two separate motorcycle crashes on curves just west of Menear’s Bend sent two motorcyclists to area hospitals with serious injuries over the span of four days last week.
The most recent was on Thursday afternoon, May 22, when, according to Oregon State Police, James Arthur Walter II, 58, of Albany, was eastbound on Hwy. 20 on a Honda cruiser when the motorcycle failed to negotiate a curve near Milepost 34 and Walter hit the guardrail.
