Two people were injured in a motorcycle accident on FM 309 in Navarro county on Saturday afternoon. The two victims were 53-year-old Donald Galloway and his passenger, 52-year-old Martha Dudley.

Galloway suffered serious head injuries, and Dudley, says a DPS trooper, possibly broke her arm.

The accident took place when the two were riding their motorcycle on FM 309, approaching the Highway 278 intersection. Investigators believe the motorcycle was traveling too fast for the curve, and the driver of the motorcycle realized too late that he was approaching a stop sign.

As a result, the motorcycle ran off the road, barreled through the intersection and eventually came to a stop on the side of the road.  Neither Galloway nor Dudley was wearing a helmet.

This most recent motorcycle accident comes only one week after the horrific crash during a charity bike ride that left three motorcyclists dead.
