Motorcycle accident on Interstate 80 on Saturday night slows down traffic

A motorcycle accident on Interstate 80 had east bound traffic tied up for over an hour Saturday night.

The accident happened shortly after 7:00 p.m. just east of mile marker 222.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says a trucker pulled over in the breakdown lane and got stuck.

Traffic started slowing when a tow rig showed up and set up cones marking a work zone. But a group of motorcycles didn't slow quickly enough and one bike rear ended another.

One rider suffered a broken arm and broken leg and a second suffered a fair amount of road rash. Both are expected to recover.
