VIDEO: San Jose motorcyclist hits tree in the Sierra, uses emergency beacon to call CHP

EL DORADO COUNTY (KRON) — A San Jose man has a quite a story to tell about a motorcycle adventure that ended with a crash in the Sierra.

He was riding near Cody Lake in El Dorado County last night when the California Highway Patrol says he hit a tree and was badly hurt.


He used an emergency beacon to call for help on Tuesday morning, and the CHP used a helicopter to rescue him.

The man was hoisted to safety and taken to a hospital in South Lake Tahoe to have his knee examined.WHAT OTHERS ARE CLICKING ON:
