LANCASTER \u2013 A 53-year-old man was critically injured Sunday, after crashing his motorcycle into a minivan.<\/p>\n

The collision happened shortly before 4 p.m. at 27th<\/sup> Street West and Double Play Way, according to Lancaster Station spokesman Michael Rust.<\/p>\n

The man was riding his motorcycle northbound on 27th<\/sup> 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe motorcyclist was critically injured and he was transported to a local hospital where he was in critical condition,\u201d said Rust. \u201cAlcohol does not appear to be a factor.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

ANTELOPE VALLEY – A 20-year-old Lancaster woman was airlifted to Antelope Valley Hospital with major injuries after a motorcycle accident late Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Danielle Martinez<\/strong> was a passenger on a Harley Davidson driven by 58-year-old Mark Strawn<\/strong> of Lancaster, according to a California Highway Patrol Report.<\/p>\n

Around 11:50 a.m. on Saturday, Strawn was driving eastbound on Spunky Canyon Road (near Bouquet Canyon Road), at approximately 40 miles per hour, when he failed to negotiate a sharp turn on the roadway, the report states.<\/p>\n

The Harley Davidson traveled onto the dirt shoulder, and both Strawn and Martinez were thrown from the bike onto the dirt shoulder.<\/p>\n

Strawn suffered a sprained shoulder and lacerations to his left arm. Martinez was airlifted to Antelope Valley Hospital with major injuries, according to the CHP report.<\/p>\n
