Police said a 16-year-old Corry male was traveling northbound on North Perry Road on a motorcycle when he encountered an 18-year-old Centerville man, Evan M. Matteson, driving a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado.
The motorcycle was negotiating a left-hand curve when Matteson attempted to move toward the edge of the roadway to avoid it. The motorcycle then struck the Silverado at approximately the 8 o’clock position.
The motorcycle operator sustained suspected serious injuries and was transported by EmergyCare to UPMC Hamot. He was wearing a motorcycle helmet. Matteson was not injured.
The second crash occurred Aug. 30 at approximately 5:19 p.m. on Deadmans Run Road in Freehold Township, Warren County.
