— Alabama State Trooper Randal Dubose, 37, of the Tuscaloosa post, remained in good condition Thursday afternoon at Huntsville Hospital after crashing his motorcycle while chasing a motorcyclist Wednesday in Limestone County.
“Dubose is in good spirits,” state trooper spokesman Curtis Summerville said Thursday. “He has a broken arm and a dislocated elbow. He is expected to have surgery sometime today.”
Dubose’s arm and leg were injured when he lost control of his bike on a curve on McKee Road near Creekside Drive about 2:40 p.m. He lost control after turning to pursue the speeding cycle.
His motorcycle landed in the ditch and Dubose was thrown from it. He was flown to the hospital by MedFlight helicopter.
Anyone who witnessed the accident or has information about the motorcycle is asked to call the Huntsville trooper post, (256) 536-1898.
