There were no major problems during the fall motorcycle rally at Myrtle Beach that concluded Sunday,
The weekend was busy for troopers, but South Carolina Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Sonny Collins said there were no serious wrecks or deaths during the event that wrapped up over the weekend.
A crash did occur in North Myrtle Beach on Friday night that sent at least six people to the hospital with injuries, city spokesman Pat Dowling said.
A motorcycle hit a car that turned in front of the bike. The rider was hurt, as was a combat medic who stopped to help. The biker suffered a broken leg and arm injury. Five other people went to the hospital for treatment.
Collins says the fall version of the motorcycle rally is always smaller than the two big events in May. The fall also is easier because there are fewer tourists.
Organizers managed to avoid the controversy that plagued the two spring rallies, when there were questions about dates for the May events.
