According to a CHP report, on May 14, 2014 at 8:20 AM James Robert Coit (48) of Mokelumne Hill was driving his 2005 Harley Davidson Sportster on Hwy 26 south of Montgomery Drive at a speed of 35 MPH.
Coit stated that he accelerated abruptly as he traveled up the hill and the rear wheel of the motorcycle began to skid.
Coit lost control of the motorcycle and it skidded off the roadway to the north. The front wheel and right side of the motorcycle collided with the rock embankment north of the roadway edge and the impact caused Coit to be ejected off the motorcycle.
Both Coit and the motorcycle tumbled separately down the roadway and came to rest withing the westbound lane of Hwy 26.
Coit was life-flighted to Doctors Modesto Hospital for treatment of major injuries.
