EAGLE POINT, Ore. – Two motorcyclists were injured after a crash on a Jackson County roadway.
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said on June 18, two motorcycles ridden by White City men were traveling westbound on Dodge Road near Wedgewood Drive. At about 7:30 p.m., one of the motorcycles suddenly collided with an eastbound pickup truck. The force from the collision caused the two motorcycles to run into each other and crash.
