Oregon man hurt in Sunday motorcycle crash

UPPER LAKE, Calif. – An Oregon man was injured Sunday when his motorcycle was struck by a vehicle.


Milo Manley, 58, of Ashland sustained major injuries in the Sunday morning crash, which occurred on Highway 20 near the Lodge at Blue Lakes, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Kory Reynolds.


Reynolds said at approximately 10:05 a.m. Paul Ruggirello, 33, of Plumas Lake was driving his 2004 Chrysler Pacifica westbound on Highway 20 and was slowing to make a left turn into the Lodge at Blue Lakes when he failed to see Manley's 2008 Honda motorcycle.


Ruggirello turned directly into the path of Manley causing his Honda to strike the front of the Chrysler, Reynolds said.


Manley was ejected from the Honda and sustained major injuries, according to Reynolds.


Reynolds said Manley was airlifted by REACH to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for a fractured left leg, left wrist and right ankle.


Ruggirello and his passenger, 31-year-old Autumn Ruggirello, also of Plumas Lake, were not injured in the collision, Reynolds said.


One-way traffic control was in effect at the scene for approximately one hour, Reynolds said.


Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the collision which is still under investigation by Officer Erich Paarsch, according to Reynolds' report.
