Police traffic investigators are on the scene of an accident in which a motorcycle collided with a car, leaving the motorcycle rider with serious head injuries.
About an hour ago, a young man was riding without a helmet through the intersection of Walden Avenue and Wilberforce Street when he hit a black Nissan Sentra, said police spokeswoman Sgt. Jerri Weary. It appears that the motorcycle rider ran the stop sign at the intersection, she said.
The rider was thrown onto an adjacent curb, causing massive head trauma, Weary said. The driver of the vehicle was not injured.
The driver of the Nissan is currently being questioned by police, Weary said. No charges have been filed but may be pending further investigation, she said.
