The driver of a Harley Davidson motorcycle was injured in a crash around 10 pm Friday night.

The Dooley vehicle was pulling out from Haynes Road NE.

Hix was transported to Huntsville Hospital by Arab Fire and Rescue. His injuries were not considered to be life threatening. Hix is the husband of an Arab Police Department communications officer.

Shelby Dooley, age 15, was not injured. Dooley's mother and two sisters were also in the car and were not injured.
