2 Injured In Falls Twp. Crash

FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA — Two people were sent to the hospital with injuries Tuesday evening after a motorcycle and an SUV crashed in Falls Township.

At 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, Falls police were called to the intersection of West Trenton Avenue and Pine Grove Road, where a two-vehicle crash was reported.

According to investigators, the driver of a silver GMC Terrain SUV was headed north on West Trenton Avenue and trying to make a left turn onto Pine Grove toward Lower Makefield Township when it was hit by a red Kawasaki motorcycle.

The motorcycle was headed south on West Trenton.

The driver of the SUV suffered minor head and neck injuries and was taken to St. Mary Medical Center, police spokesman Lt. Nelson Whitney said. The motorcycle's operator suffered a severe compound fracture to his left leg, he said.

The motorcycle rider was taken to Capital Regional Medical Center in Trenton.

According to speed tests and other analysis, the motorcycle did not appear to be speeding, Whitney said. He said the SUV appears to have been making a left turn without gaining full clearance and its driver was at fault in the crash.
