A Swansea motorcycle rider was seriously injured recently in a crash in southeastern Massachusetts.
According to scanner transmissions, at approximately 11:15 a.m. on Sunday, a call came into dispatch for a motorcyclist that was hit by a van in the area of 136 Wood Street in Middleborough, in front of Saint Mary’s cemetery.
The motorcycle rider was reportedly suffering from severe bleeding from one of his legs and personnel applied a torniquet upon arrival.
