Marco needs some prayers

[siggywiggy]

MANSFIELD -- A Monday night motorcycle crash sent a Shelby man to the hospital, the Ohio Highway Patrol reported.

The single-vehicle crash occurred on Ohio 97 just east of Wheatcraft Road at about 7:10 p.m., the post said.

Marco Willison, 31, of Shelby, was riding a 1996 Suzuki GSXR 750 when he went off the road on a curve. After the motorcycle rolled several times in a corn field, Willison was thrown from the bike, troopers reported.

He was flown to The Ohio State University Medical Center and listed in fair condition Monday night.

Alcohol was not a factor, and the rider was wearing a helmet. Authorities said unsafe speed was likely the culprit.

I rode with marco several times and he is a good rider, 2 other guys that i ride with were with him. They said he was 367ft. from where he left the road. they stated he flipped at least 10 - 15 times. Please keep marco in your thoughts...he's a good guy...but not doing good at the moment. Broken back, ribs, collar bone, etc.

Well at least there wasn't anything in the way to hit, that probably saved his life!

[bertman85]

Oh for sure, if he would have hit that sign he would have been DOA! That why i say that i truly believe the good lord was watching over him!!! Not too many people thrash it that bad and can live to tell the tail...

[timotheus]

looking at the pics i would say marco is a very lucky young man.....wow !!!

[RVTPilot]

He is very lucky. Will keep him in thoughts and prayers here. If he is moving all of his extremities, then he is truly fortunate.

[Scruit]

367 feet? 10-15 flips? How fast was he going??

[bertman85]

I was riding with him that evening. We were stupid and going too fast. It could have been any or us. He is a good rider, just had too much speed and there was a on-coming car. For sure lucky to be alive. I posted pics on marco's post on the daily ride forum. Keep him in your prayers please...

[jessecwalters]
