Upton County, TX — July 31, 2024, a Midland man was injured due to a motorcycle accident at around 3:30 a.m. along Farm-to-Market 1788.
Initial details about the accident say that it happened near F.M. 308, south of Midland-Odessa between TX-349 and U.S. 385.
Officials said in preliminary statements that a 33-year-old Midland man was on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle going southbound on F.M. 1788. When the motorcycle went over a cattle guard, it lost control, causing it to careen off-road and eject the rider. The Midland man was seriously injured as a result.
Right now, additional details can’t be confirmed.

Generally speaking, people tend to jump to conclusions when it comes to motorcycle accidents. Like any crash, it can happen for reasons beyond the driver’s control. Motorcyclists, however, are seen as reckless no matter what, which is what makes gathering evidence so crucial in these situations. Could there have been other factors at play? A tire blowout? Mechanical issues? Problems with this cattle guard or the roadway in general? Likely or not, it should be up to the evidence to say what ultimately led to this crash.
