Two Potter Co. Motorcycle Crashes
Two people suffered moderate injuries in a motorcycle accident on Kinney Road about a mile and a half west of Route 244 in Potter County.
State Police say a deer ran in front of a motorcycle driven by 26-year-old Dann Thompson of Genesee and the bike hit the deer.
Thompson and his passenger, a 15-year-old girl, were taken to Jones Memorial Hospital for treatment.

A Falls Creek man suffered major injuries – and is facing DUI charges – following a crash at just before 7 p.m. Friday on Route 872 near Portage Road.
Police say a motorcycle driven by 54-year-old Jeffrey Striegel was traveling too fast and went out of control on a curve. The bike then crossed the road, hit the guide rails, turned over and slid another 75 feet.
Striegel and his passenger, 40-year-old Patricia Fields of Reynoldsville, left the scene but were found a short time later near the Wharton Tavern.
Striegel was taken to Charles Cole Memorial Hospital. Fields sustained minor injuries but refused medical treatment.
