A motorcyclist and his passenger were transported to a local hospital with, respectively, serious and life-threatening injuries Wednesday night after colliding with a vehicle on Brinker Road.
The preliminary crash investigation indicates that the motorcycle had traveled from Interstate 35 and was heading eastbound on Brinker, while a Camaro traveled westbound on Brinker and was turning south onto Colorado Boulevard. The Camaro driver did not report any injuries.
At about 10:29 p.m. Wednesday, an officer was parked at Fire Station 8, located at 3131 Colorado Blvd., as she filed reports. A vehicle pulled up next to her and its occupant said there was a crash nearby and people were hurt.
The officer activated her emergency lights and drove to the intersection of Brinker Road and Colorado Boulevard. She saw a vehicle stopped in the southbound lanes approaching the intersection and two people lying in the roadway in the middle of the intersection.
The officer attended to the victims while notifying dispatch of the crash. The crash report states the female passenger seemed in a more critical condition than the male motorcyclist. The officer began CPR on the passenger.
Medics and other first responders arrived on the scene. They determined the passenger had life-threatening injuries and transported her to a local hospital. They then transported the motorcyclist, who had serious injuries, not long after.
As of 6:30 a.m. Thursday, the passenger was still in life-threatening condition and the motorcyclist was still in serious condition.
The crash is still under investigation.
