6:55 a.m.: Two motorcycle commuters, residents of Ben Lomond and Boulder Creek, sustained moderate injuries while traveling northbound Highway 9, north of Boulder Creek. On a sharp 15 mph curve, the rear motorcyclist failed to negotiate the curve, overturned in the northbound lane, and was thrown onto the roadway. The lead rider was exiting the same curve when he was distracted by other motorcyclist’s crash and consequently ran off the right side of the road, where he struck a tree and was also thrown from his motorcycle onto the roadway. Both riders received medical aid at the scene and arranged their own transportation to the hospital.
