A Goodlettsville man was injured in a semi-motorcycle accident Thursday morning at the intersection of Broad Street and South Congress Boulevard.
Trooper Bobby Johnson of the Tennessee Highway Patrol told WJLE that 59 year old Charles Walker was setting on his 2014 BMW motorcycle in an eastbound lane at the traffic light on Broad Street when he was bumped in the rear by an unloaded 2015 Freightliner semi, driven by 51 year old Dean Kinney of Alberta Canada who failed to stop.
Walker was injured after being knocked off the motorcycle. He was treated at the scene by DeKalb EMS and later flown to Vanderbilt Hospital by a helicopter ambulance.
Kinney was not hurt. He unloaded his cargo in Lebanon and was enroute to McMinnville.
Kinney was cited for failure to exercise due care.
Members of the Smithville Police and Fire Departments were also on the scene.
