The man and woman injured Monday when the motorcycle they were riding crashed into a Toyota Prius were in serious but stable condition as of Monday night.
Emergency crews were dispatched at 12:47 p.m. Monday to the intersection of Huron River Drive and Loch Alpine Drive. Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Geoffrey Fox said the crash took place when the woman driving the Prius pulled out in front of the motorcycle, attempting to make a left turn from Loch Alpine onto Huron River Drive.
Fox said there was not enough time for the westbound motorcycle to avoid the crash and the two people on the motorcycle were tossed during the collision.
The 22-year-old man driving the motorcycle ended up on the hood of the Prius and the woman ended up on the pavement, Fox said. The man is originally from Georgia but is temporarily living in the area and the woman is from Albion, but also is temporarily living in the area.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing, Fox said.
“They are doing followup today with the elderly driver,” Fox said. “I don’t believe any citations were issued yesterday.”
The age of the woman driving the Prius was not immediately available.
Both people on the motorcycle were wearing helmets. Fox said they were in serious, but stable, condition Monday night and a status update had not come in for Tuesday.
Both the man and the woman had surgery Monday. Fox said he didn’t know what kind of surgery the pair needed. They're both being treated at University of Michigan Hospital.
The motorcycle was traveling the speed limit, Fox said.
“There’s no indication the motorcycle did anything wrong,” he said.
