Motorcyclist seriously injured, person cited, after multi-vehicle Fall River crash

Two people were injured, and one was cited, after a serious crash Monday evening in Fall River.

According to Sergeant Moses Pereira, just before 8:30 p.m., Officers John Aguiar and Lorymar Devarie responded to the intersection of Brayton Avenue and Jefferson Street for a collision between a vehicle and a motorcycle.

Upon arrival, witnesses reported that a gray Chrysler sedan failed to yield at the red turn signal, as it attempted to turn north onto Jefferson Street. As the Chrysler sedan turned north, a Harley Davidson motorcycle which was traveling west on Brayton Avenue collided with the passenger side propelling the operator forward and onto the roadway.

Officer Devarie was able to confirm that the operator of the Harley Davidson had the right of way at the time of the collision. She was transported to Rhode Island Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The operator of the Chrysler sedan was transported to Saint Anne’s hospital with minor injuries. She was cited at the scene for operating without a license and failure to yield.
