When birthday presents go awry

A Harrisville woman is recovering this morning after she crashed her new motorcycle into her neighbor's home over the weekend.

The accident happened on Saturday after the woman's 57th birthday, where she received a Harley-Davidson motorcycle from her husband.

Officers say the woman was driving around when the motorcycle went out of control and hit a curb. The woman then accidentally accelerated and crashed through her neighbor's front porch railing and into a brick wall.

Authorities say the woman suffered a broken arm and some ribs, but is expected to recover.

The woman's husband was riding around in the neighborhood when the crash happened.

Perhaps she'll get riding lessons as the anniversary gift?
