A turkey on Highway 1 caused a Canadian motorcycle rider to crash sometime early Monday, and the man told investigators he then walked to a coastal bluff and jumped off, naked.
The 27-year-old Alberta man had shed his clothing as he walked and was found, nude and seriously injured, on rocks about 40 feet below a coastal bluff in Salt Point State Park.
The CHP is investigating the man’s crash and a Sonoma County sheriff’s investigator is looking into what happened afterward, including whether he was trying to die or hurt himself or acted because of his injuries, said CHP spokesman Officer Jon Sloat. The man wasn’t identified as his mental health was being evaluated.
The investigators Tuesday afternoon interviewed the hospitalized man, who has moderate injuries including a head wound.
He was headed south, bound for South America for a job, he told investigators. The turkey reportedly appeared while he was riding on the coast highway near Kruse Ranch Road.
The man initially told some rescuers he thought he’d crashed as early as about midnight Sunday and that he didn’t remember anything between riding on the highway and then finding himself on the rocks, said Tim Murphy, supervising state parks lifeguard.
At about 5 a.m., a driver spotted a downed motorcycle on the side of the highway and some riding gear. Without cell service, the driver drove further south, calling to alert authorities as they approached the Russian River.

first mistake: swerve to avoid turkey on a motorcycle.
“A remarkably similar event occurred to me back when I was just a corporal in the fight against the Maylay rebels...”
Thank you for sharing that, Commander McBragg.
If this is not a not a ping then I don’t know what kind of ping a not a ping would be.
This might have been some master race of outer space Jedi turkey using mind control.
We’ve eaten them for many years, but the dangerous Toms somehow always seem to slip away.
Not quite. It depends on what kind of motorcycle the turkey is riding.
That’s hilarious.
“What kind of motorcycle the turkey was riding”
The big bird was on an Indian, doing a Vulcan mind meld on him.
The Indian threatened to knock the stuffing out ... never mind.
On the road to a new life, going to yet another country to start over again, cruising down the beach highway, and all of a sudden some turkey wipes it all away? I might have gotten naked and jumped off a cliff too.
Happy Octoberfest!
Well that explains everything....
You can get so cold that your body tells you it’s hot. You start sweating and start removing your clothing.
