I use the word "accident," but it was the intentional conduct (being drunk) of a Pennsylvania man that allegedly caused two innocent people to be injured during Harley Week. The point I am trying to make to bikers during Harley-Davidson Week in Myrtle Beach is to always remember you can not control the actions of another. And Mr. Sklar was certainly not the only intoxicated biker on the road last night.
Jonathan Sklar, 26, of Butler, PA was charged with felony driving under the influence with great bodily injury after a crash Monday night in Garden City Beach, according to an arrest warrant.
He was traveling on U.S. 17 Bypass and attempted to make a turn on to Atlantic Avenue and failied to yield the right of way to oncoming traffic. According to the warrant, his failure to yield caused a collision between his motorcycle and that of another.
The warrant further states tha Sklar was driving under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash.
Sklar is currently being held at J. Reuben Long Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing, according to a jail official.
Two people were hurt in the accident. One person was taken to Georgetown Memorial Hospital for treatment and the other was flown to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina.
