A man and woman were seriously injured in a Rhode Island motorcycle crash on Monday.
According to Chief of Police Mark Carrier, at approximately 6:15 p.m., Hopkinton Police Officers were dispatched to the area of Spring Street and Charnley Ave for a report of a motorcycle accident with serious injuries.
The operator of the motorcycle, 39-year-old Kevin McDonald of Hopkinton, was transported immediately with severe facial trauma; the motorcycle passenger, 33-year-old Katlyn Cook of Tiverton, was also transported for evaluation of potential internal injuries.
A preliminary on-scene investigation and witness statements indicate McDonald was driving erratically while traveling westbound on Spring Street. McDonald passed two vehicles in a no-passing zone at an extremely high rate of speed before colliding with a vehicle making a left-hand turn onto Charnley Ave.
The accident is still under investigation with the assistance of the RISP Collision Reconstruction Unit.
If anyone witnessed this accident or has any information, please contact the Hopkinton Police Department.
