Sheriff's Department

Two accidents were reported recently to the sheriff's department.

Donald Mulkeen, 45, San Francisco, Calif., was driving a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle south bound on State Road 42 at 2:55 p.m. Saturday. Mulkeen was traveling behind a smaller vehicle when it suddenly stopped. In an attempt to avoid a collision, he swerved to the right causing him to loose control of the motorcycle. He laid the bike down in a yard and the other vehicle continued traveling south. Mulkeen received a laceration to his chin but refused medical treatment.

Shirley K. Heichel, 56, Poland, was eastbound on CR1050 at 1:08 p.m. Friday when she thought her tire was going flat. As she slowed, her right front tire came off the vehicle.

She was able to stop before loosing control. After closer inspection, all the lug nuts were missing from the tire and none were found within 1,000 feet of the scene.
