WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — A prankster tightly wound plastic wrap around traffic poles across a two-lane road, causing a motorcycle accident that injured two people.
Daniel Buckel and his girlfriend, Theresa Brzykcy, were riding south of Waukesha on Tuesday when their motorcycle crashed into the plastic wrap set up 3 to 4 feet above the road — wound thickly from traffic poles on opposite sides.
Buckel, 22, was within 10 feet when he saw the makeshift barricade and hit the brakes.
"It's appalling, and it's really frightening," Brzykcy, 19, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Buckel was cut above his eye and broke his finger. Brzykcy also suffered scrapes and bruises.
