Motorcyclist Impaled on Mailbox

Syracuse, NY -

A motorcyclist was rushed to University Hospital with a mailbox pole impaled in his left leg after a two-vehicle crash at 2:20 p.m. today in Fulton.

Witnesses who gave statements to state troopers said the Honda motorcycle crashed into the rear of a Chevrolet van that was turning left off state Route 3 onto Stingray Alley near the railroad overpass on the east side of the city.

The motorcyle bounced off the van and careened into several mailboxes on the southern side of the road, said Michael Bonnell, who was walking along state Route 3 at the time.

The driver of the van was not injured. The motorcyclist was conscious and gave the phone number of a relative before being rushed by ambulance to Syracuse.
