Dennis M. Shoff, 68, injured his hip after he lost control of his 2020 Indian Scout motorcycle about 11:05 a.m., according to a police report. State police reported Shoff was northbound on the rural road and navigating an S-curve when he lost control, drove off the north side of the highway and struck a fence before landing in a field.
