SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say a California man’s plan to jump railroad tracks on his motorcycle ended in him being taken to a hospital in serious, but not life-threatening condition.

The Ventura County Star reports (https://bit.ly/2timPU3 ) a bystander filmed the event on Sunday, which was planned by the injured 22-year-old man.

Simi Valley police said the man was cited for a municipal code violation regarding off-road driving.



A similar incident occurred three months earlier when a 24-year-old from San Clemente was critically injured after attempting a similar stunt in the area.
