A Princeton man was flown from the scene of a motorcycle accident in Caldwell County Monday evening.
Caldwell County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Chris Noel states around 7:40 deputies responded to reports of a motorcycle accident on Highway 91 South near the Holmes Cook Road intersection. He adds preliminary investigation revealed the driver, 23-year-old Teddy Taylor, was traveling south along Highway 91 on a 2019 Harley Davidson motorcycle when he failed to navigate a curve, ran off the roadway and struck a concrete culvert, causing the motorcycle to go airborne and strike a tree, with the motorcycle coming to a final resting place in a ditch.
Taylor was life flighted from the scene by PHI Air Medical to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Evansville.
Chief Deputy Noel states Taylor was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and speed and alcohol are currently considered contributing factors in the crash.
