Stupid Marine

I grant you that the title of this entry may seem a bit redundant. On Thursday morning we got a call for a TC with minor injuries, which is to say a BS call. We were told that CHP was already on scene. We go there to find one of the marines from the local military base walking around. He stated that he was riding his motorcycle up the hill on highway 62 and failed to see the slow moving truck in the right lane despite having his flashers on. The marine, at the last second, locked his brakes and slid into the rear of the truck. He ended up with a possible arm fracture and some road rash on his leg.
