CACHE COUNTY, Utah — A Tremonton man’s foot was partially amputated after he crashed his motorcycle into a water wheel line in a field Saturday night.
At approximately 6:46 p.m., Jeremy Jones, 27, was traveling south on State Route 23 near Trenton with his father, who was riding on a separate motorcycle.
The man’s father told Utah Highway Patrol that the two men got into an argument, his son became upset and began riding away at a high rate of speed.
Near mile marker 21, Jones went off the right side of the roadway and struck a tree then a fence post. The motorcycle came to rest after hitting a water wheel line in a field.
Jones was not wearing a helmet and suffered a partially amputated foot and a head injury.
