Accident Sends Two People to the Hospital

Police were called to the scene of a motorcycle vs. car crash Friday afternoon, just before 5 p.m.  

A 79-year-old Waukesha woman driving a car collided with a 49-year-old Muskego man on a motorcycle. Several squads and ambulances responded to the scene, and Flight for Life was also called out to transport the motorcyclist to Froedtert Lutheran Memorial Hospital.

The helicopter could not land near the accident scene due to overhead lines, so ambulances transported the motorcyclist to Bay Lane Middle School where the chopper had landed on an athletic field.

The woman was transported to Waukesha Memorial hospital from the scene. Details on either victims' conditions could not be released, as names have not yet been released from MPD. Officer Richard Rens, who was at the scene, could not confirm if the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.  

Further details will be released as an investigation is continuing.
