Two individuals were injured and transported to the hospital Sunday following a vehicle versus motorcycle crash, according to information reported by the Fort Atkinson Police Department within its daily press blotter.
The blotter summary reported that the individuals involved in the crash included a 16-year-old man from Cambridge and a 46-year-old man from Illinois.
The crash occurred Sunday at 2:49 p.m. near the intersection of Madison Avenue and Washington Street.
Responding by email to questions posed by Fort Atkinson Online about Sunday’s crash, Fort Atkinson Police Chief Adrian Bump said: “We did not have a fatal accident occur in our jurisdiction.”
According to the police blotter, the 16-year-old male was cited for deviating from his lane of traffic and received a warning for displaying an unauthorized registration.
The 46-year-old male was cited for operating without a license, expired registration and illegal passing.
A 49-year-old witness to the crash from Darien was cited for disorderly conduct, the blotter stated.
Capt. Brandon Sachse, with the Fort Atkinson Police Department, said Wednesday that the subject driving the motorcycle sustained injuries which he described as “broken bones and road rash.”
A second individual, a 51-year-old female from Illinois who was a passenger on the motorcycle, also sustained what was reported by responding officers as “suspected minor injuries,” Sachse said.
The 16-year-old driver was operating a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox.
Sachse said the crash occurred after the driver of the Equinox activated the left turn signal on his vehicle, but then proceeded to negotiate a right turn. The driver of the motorcycle attempted to overtake the vehicle, Sachse said, which resulted in the vehicle turning into the motorcycle.
