Samuel Cravin, 22, of Albany was injured when he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

The accident happened at Bear Creek Road north of Orinda. Cravin regained consciousness at the scene but suffered a broken leg in addition to head and other injuries.

CHP believes that speed was a factor in this accident. And because Samuel crashed his Honda 600cc sportsbike with no other vehicles involved, I tend to think they’re right.
