An unidentified motorcyclist was transported to Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County after a crash involving her motorcycle and a truck Friday afternoon.
The crash occurred at about 12:13 p.m. at the intersection of Uinta Drive and Roosevelt Drive. According information from the Green River Police Department, a pickup truck driven by 83-year-old Chris Leventis moved into the turning lane and attempted to make a left turn, striking a motorcycle traveling south on Uinta Drive.
The police department, along with Castle Rock Ambulance Service and the Green River Fire Department, also assisted at the scene. The motorcyclist was pinned beneath the truck until emergency responders were able to free her and transport her to the hospital. She was later transferred to Utah for additional treatment.
Leventis was issued a traffic citation for his alleged role in the crash.
A police report regarding the crash requested by the Green River Star was not released by Green River Prosecuting Attorney Bobby Pineda as of press time.
