Motorcyclist suffers serious injuries in Southington crash
A motorcyclist was seriously injured in a car crash in Southington on Monday evening. The crash was reported at 8:24 p.m. on Queen Street just north of the Spring Street intersection where police, firefighters and medics responded after receiving reports of the collision, according to Lt. Justin Burke of the Southington Police Department. Police said a 22-year-old Southington man was riding a Yamaha MT07 motorcycle north on Queen Street when he was involved in a collision with a BMW sedan driven by an 18-year-old from Southington. The teen was heading south on Queen Street and was trying to turn left into a McDonald's parking lot when the collision occurred in the northbound lane, according to police. Police said witnesses alleged that the motorcyclist was driving erratically before the crash, doing wheelies and traveling at a high rate of speed. He suffered serious injuries and was taken to the Hospital of Central Connecticut. The teen driving the BMW did not report any injuries. The northbound side of Queen Street was closed at the Spring Street intersection until about 11 p.m. while investigators were at the scene. The crash remains under investigation. No charges have been filed. Any witnesses or individuals with information have been asked by police to contact Officer Badgley at 860-378-1600, ext. 2468, or JBadgley@
