Man seriously injured in I-24 accident in Caldwell County

A man was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident Sunday on I-24 in Caldwell County.

The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office investigated and says 61-year old Hector Guerrero of Mt. Juliet, Tennessee was operating a three-wheeled motorcycle westbound near the 56 mile-marker when a rear wheel made contact with the concrete barrier wall in the construction zone.

The motorcycle then overturned, ejecting Guerrero to the pavement.

Guerrero, who was wearing a helmet, was flown by helicopter to a Nashville hospital for treatment of injuries.
