A black 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, driven by an unknown male, turned left from eastbound Highway 50 toward Highway 96 directly in the path of a 2008 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 motorcycle. The motorcycle was driven by 62-year-old Terry Jackson of Boone, CO. The motorcycle collided into the front right side of the Cobalt resulting in Jackson being ejected from the motorcycle and impacting the windshield of the Cobalt.  Jackson was flown to Parkview Medical Center with serious injuries.
