Fire chiefs in southern Utah are warning about a dangerous stretch of road that's being called 'Motorcycle Rock' because of the number of accidents.
"This corner is notorious," said Gunlock Fire Chief Charley Guthrie. "If we get a call that there's been a motorcycle accident, we can almost guarantee that it's on this spot."
Nilson headed out on an afternoon motorcycle ride on May 27 on Gunlock Road. He doesn't remember much about the accident that launched him more than 60 feet into a ravine. "I just knew I had to get that call out because there's no other way I would be alive today if I didn't get that call out and it was really important that I stay awake that long," he said. "So I just had to keep trying."
"Jake was incredibly fortunate he was able to get a signal out on his cellphone and call for help," Guthrie said. "Otherwise, he may still be there now."
