Speed, inattention possible causes of serious motorcycle crash
NANAIMO — A motorcyclist is recovering from significant injuries after a long-weekend crash.
RCMP Cst. Gary O’Brien said the 24-year-old Nanaimo man is expected to be in hospital for a significant amount of time after crashing on Stewart Ave. near St. George St. just before 5 p.m. on Monday, July 2.
“For unknown reasons, the motorcyclist decided to change lanes and in doing so, maybe mis-calculated his speed and ran into the back of a Jeep Cherokee,” O’Brien said.
The crash closed Stewart Ave. in both directions for several hours.
