An Elkton man was in fair condition at the University of Virginia Medical Center Thursday after a motorcycle wreck sent him flying off the road.
Cecil James Watts Jr., 49, was driving his 2007 Honda Shadow west toward Harrisonburg on U.S. 33 at about 7:30 a.m., when he hit a block of wood in the road, police said.
"The car in front of him ran over it but he wasn't able to see it coming," said 1st Sgt. Bryan Hutcheson with the Virginia State Police.
Watts slid for more than 200 feet and was thrown from the bike, police said. He was airlifted to U.Va. with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Watts was wearing a helmet and speed was not a factor in the crash, Hutcheson said. He will not be charged.
