Morristown Man Seriously Injured When Car Crashes Into Motorcycle, Cops Say

A Morristown man was sent to the hospital Sunday night with multiple serious injuries after he was hit by an SUV while riding his motorcycle through town, police said.

At 5:15 p.m. Morristown police responded to a report of motor vehicle crash in the area of South Street and Woodland Avenue, Lt. Stuart Greer said.

When police arrived they found Ryan Brennan, 40, had been driving west on South Street heading into Morristown on his 2002 Harley Davidson motorcycle, Greer said. He was struck by a 2008 Honda CRV, operated by Florence Vavrek, 75, of Madison, Greer said.

Police determined Vavrek had been turning heading eastbound on South Street when she turned onto Woodland Avenue, and hit Brennan, Greer said.

Vavrek was issued a motor vehicle summons for failing to yield to an oncoming vehicle with the right of way.

Brennan sustained serious damages, including a compound fracture to his lower right leg, and injuries to his face and left wrist, Greer said.

Medical assistance was immediately rendered by a volunteer member of the Madison Volunteer Ambulance Corps who happened to be in the area at the time of the crash, Greer said. Brennan was taken to Morristown Medical Center for treatment.
