Police in Red Oak say a woman suffered suspected serious/incapacitating injuries during a motorcycle accident, Tuesday. Officers responded to the area of N. 6th Street and E. Sunset Avenue at around 1-p.m., and found the motorcycle operator, 51-year old Barbara Darlene Wilson, of Red Oak, laying on the grass in a yard on the west side of the road. Authorities say it was clear the woman suffered a broken leg in the accident, that happened when she was leaving her house, and was turning around to go back home, when the cycle got too close to the curb. The foot peg on the 2000 Honda VT 1100C hit the curb, causing Wilson to fall off the bike. The cycle then landed on her leg. The motorcycle was registered to a woman from Sioux Falls, SD. It sustained about $500 damage.

Authorities said Wilson has a suspended license and that she emitted an odor of alcohol. Wilson was transported to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital by Red Oak Rescue. At the hospital Wilson refused to take a Preliminary Breath (alcohol) Test, and was read the Implied Consent Advisory. She still refused to consent to a sample of her blood and will be charged with Driving Under Suspension and OWI/1st offense. Wilson was later expected to have been transferred to Omaha to be treated for her broken leg.
