A Marine was severely injured when he was thrown off his motorcycle yesterday morning, following another crash on Adobe Road in Twentynine Palms. According to Sheriff’s Sergeant Steve Wilson, Jean Saylors, 22, was driving northbound on Adobe Road toward the main gate of the Combat Center about 6:30 a.m. when, for unknown reasons, he veered off the road and hit a fire hydrant just south of Indian Trail. He was not injured. As fire fighters were trying to turn off the water spraying from the hydrant and keep people from speeding through the standing water, a motorcycle rider, who has not been identified, rear-ended a Toyota 4-Runner about 6:44 that had slowed down. The motorcycle rider was thrown from his bike and suffered severe injuries. He was flown by Mercy Air to Desert Hospital in Palm Springs.
