Motorcyclist dies 11 days after crash in Colorado Springs

A motorcyclist who sustained serious injuries after a crash in south Colorado Springs earlier this month has died, according to Colorado Springs police.

CSPD reported Friday that 41-year-old Anthony S. Moore of Black Forest died Thursday, 11 days after a serious crash on the Martin Luther King, Jr. bypass.

The crash happened around 1:15 a.m. on Aug. 4. Police officers found a motorcycle that had driven off the road, and Moore was found nearby.
