Motorcyclist injured in distracted driving crash in eastern North Dakota
FARGO — A motorcyclist was injured Monday evening, Aug. 19, after being hit in a distracted driving crash, according to state troopers.
Jayme Frank, 51, of Fargo, was treated at Sanford Hospital for serious but not life-threatening injuries, the North Dakota Highway Patrol said Tuesday in a news release. He was driving a 2013 Suzuki motorcycle south on Interstate 29 about 4 miles north of Grandin, North Dakota, when Steel Erickson, 18, of Rosholt, South Dakota, rear-ended Frank, according to the release.
Erickson was driving a 2006 Hyundai Sonata and “became distracted in his vehicle,” the release said. State troopers did not say what caused the distraction.
Frank, who was not wearing a helmet, was separated from his motorcycle during the crash and was vaulted over the top of Erickson’s car onto the road, the release said. He came to rest in the grass, state troopers said.
Erickson, who was wearing a seat belt, was not injured and was cited for distracted driving, the release said.
Grandin is about 30 miles north of Fargo.
Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
Ethics is a system of moral principles guiding behavior, defining what’s right, wrong, fair, and good for individuals and society, essentially asking, “What should we do?”
A commission is a group of people officially charged with a particular function.
The citizens of North Dakota voted for and passed an Ethics Commission measure. The Ethics Commission has infuriated the North Dakota Republican legislators and North Dakota government in general. (NOTE: Every elected state government official in North Dakota is Republican.) They have denied that any monitoring of ethics is needed.
North Dakota Republicans have done everything possible to make sure the Ethics Commission has virtually no teeth, no say, and remains invisible under constant attack by the Attorney General’s Office.
Why do Go. Armstrong, Attorney General Wrigley and the Republican members of the North Dakota Legislature fear ethics?
