A Varina man suffered minor injuries but was booked into the Carroll County jail after a motorcycle accident Saturday afternoon in Carroll. At approximately 1:12 p.m., 48-year-old Keith Allan Albers was eastbound on Plaza Drive in a 2008 Harley Davidson Fatboy. A Carroll County Sheriff’s Office deputy clocked Albers doing 56 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone, and then when he failed to make a slight curve in the roadway, he lost control of the vehicle. Both the motorcycle and the driver rolled into the median. Albers complained of suspected minor injuries, but was not transported for treatment. He was subsequently arrested for operating while intoxicated first offense and cited for failure to maintain control and speeding. There was an estimated $2,000 in damage to the motorcycle.
