LANCASTER – A 53-year-old man was critically injured Sunday, after crashing his motorcycle into a minivan.
The collision happened shortly before 4 p.m. at 27th Street West and Double Play Way, according to Lancaster Station spokesman Michael Rust.
The man was riding his motorcycle northbound on 27th Street West when he collided with a passenger van that was making a left turn from Double Play Way, coming out of the Cinemark Movie Theater parking lot.
“The motorcyclist was critically injured and he was transported to a local hospital where he was in critical condition,” said Rust. “Alcohol does not appear to be a factor.”
The driver of the van was not injured. Rust said the matter is still under investigation and authorities have not determined who was at fault in the collision.
