A motorcyclist was taken to Salina Regional Health Center (SRHC) Sunday night after a two-vehicle accident in west Salina.
A 1988 GMC Sierra pickup driven by Robert Berg, 56, of Salina, had stopped at the light at the intersection of W. Cloud Street and S. Broadway Boulevard and then continued eastbound when the light turned green, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning.
Multiple witnesses told police that a 2007 Triumph motorcycle driven by Brice Grizzle, 25, of Salina, was southbound on S. Broadway Boulevard at a high rate of speed and was unable to stop at the red light. The motorcycle struck the left rear of the pickup.
Grizzle was transported by EMS to SRHC with severe injuries, Forrester reported.
The motorcycle sustained major damage and was removed by a wrecker. The pickup sustained left rear damage and was removed by Berg.
The accident, which occurred at approximately 9:50 p.m. Sunday, is still under investigation, Forrester noted.
