WARRICK COUNTY, Ind. (April 20, 2014) — A Boonville man was airlifted to St. Mary’s Hospital in Evansville after crashing a dirt bike into a tree.
Indiana Conservation Officers say Justin Beggs, 21, was driving a dirt bike at the Red Fox Motor Cross Club on Friday, when he lost control and hit a tree.
Beggs suffered from head and leg injuries and officers say his injuries were so significant that he had to be air lifted to St. Mary’s Hospital in Evansville, where he is listed in critical condition.
Witnesses told officers Beggs was an experienced operator who was familiar with the course as he was riding and he was wearing a helmet, chest protector, knee pads and other protective gear.
