River Hazard Warning: a yellow motorcycle went into the river at or around mile marker 103 on W Highway 14 following an accident the evening of May 24. Crews remained onscene until after dark attempting to locate the motorcycle and were unable to do so. It is unknown how far downstream from the accident location the motorcycle has traveled at this time. Please be aware and scout your run before floating. If you do see the motorcycle, or any parts of a yellow motorcycle, please note the location and call the Larimer County non-energency number at 970-416-1985. Please do not try to remove or retrieve the motorcycle yourself. #StaySafe #PoudreCanyonFire #ScoutYourRoute #WhitewaterSafety
