A harrowing incident left a man in critical condition after his trike motorcycle went over a cliff in the Superstition Mountains on Saturday afternoon. According to the details provided by ABC15, the motorcycle plunged an estimated 100 feet after the driver lost control near Weaver's Needle Vista Viewpoint, a locale roughly 8 miles northeast of Apache Junction.
The accident occurred just before 1:45 p.m. on SR 88. The Superstition Fire and Medical Department swiftly dispatched rescue technicians, who executed a rappel maneuver down the steep cliff face to reach the fallen motorcyclist, as reported by AZFamily.
Once secure, the victim was transferred to a hospital where he remains in critical condition, as per ABC15. As of now, the circumstances that led to the trike motorcycle's descent have yet to be disclosed. Official investigations are likely underway to determine the sequence of events that culminated in this precarious scenario.
