Crash sends motorcycle rider to hospital

SPOKANE VALLEY – A man is recovering and noted to be in critical but stable condition after a crash at the intersection of S. Dearborn Road and E. 6th Avenue at 9:00 a.m. on June 13.

According to reports, a man riding a Harley Davidson motorcyle collided with a man driving a Dodge truck. Responding to the initial report, deputies observed Spokane Valley Fire personnel providing life-saving medical aid to the man riding the motorcycle. The rider sustained serious and potentially life-threatening injuries and was transported to the hospital for additional care.

The man driving the truck remained at the scene and cooperated with deputies and traffic unit investigators. He was uninjured and declined medical treatment.

Initial information indicates the Dodge truck was traveling south on S. Dearborn Road and stopped at 6th Avenue briefly before entering the intersection, where he collided with the westbound motorcycle.

The driver of the truck submitted to voluntary field sobriety evaluations and a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) evaluation, and impairment is not thought to be a factor in the collision.

No one else was injured, and this remains an active investigation.
