Posted: 8:04 AM- Attorney General Mark Shurtleff is scheduled for a second operation on his leg today.
He has screws and rods in his heel and left leg. And he told the Deseret Morning News that his leg is really messed up after last week's motorcycle crash. He also tore the rotator cuff in his left shoulder.
Shurtleff was riding a big, heavy Harley Davidson Roadmaster.
Shurtleff says his motorcycle helmet may have saved his life. He says doctors are giving him a hard time about it.
Shurtleff says every doctor says: "You're a politician, right? You were wearing a helmet, now help us pass a helmet law."
