Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin
Two people were injured, and drivers of both vehicles were cited, as the result of a car-motorcycle crash Saturday night on South Green Bay Road.
At 9:12 p.m. Saturday, Mount Pleasant police and South Shore fire and rescue crews were dispatched to the 900 block of South Green Bay Road (Highway 31) for a report of an injury accident. Upon arrival at the scene, police found glass debris in the northbound lane of Highway 31, along with a severely damaged Harley-Davidson motorcycle in the median at that location.
The injured operator of the motorcycle was located in the median strip near the downed bike, police said. Highway 31 is currently under construction, with the traffic lanes reduced from three lanes northbound and southbound to one lane in each direction.
An investigation at the scene indicated that a Toyota, operated by 37-year-old Luis Murillo of Racine, was backing out of a driveway into the northbound traffic lane. The motorcycle, operated by 25-year-old Brian Warren of Racine, was travelling in the northbound lane and collided with the rear of the Toyota. Warren was ejected from the motorcycle, coming to rest in the median.
Paramedics transported Warren to Ascension All Saints Hospital’s emergency room for treatment of what police described as non-life-threatening injuries. He was later transferred to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa, police said.
A 29-year-old female passenger in the Toyota also was transported to Ascension with what police described as minor injuries.
Police said that Murillo was cited for unsafe backing of a vehicle onto a highway. Warren was cited for operating a vehicle while under the influence, causing injury.
The crash remained under investigation as of late Sunday morning.
The Racine County Sheriff’s Office assisted Mount Pleasant police with traffic control at the crash scene.
