A Morristown man was seriously injured when his motorcycle was hit by a car on Sunday afternoon, police said.
Ryan Brennan, 40, sustained a possible compound fracture to his lower right leg and injuries to his face and left wrist after being struck by a 2008 Honda CRV driven by 75 year-old Florence Vavrek of Madison.
Vavrek received a ticket for failing to yield to an oncoming vehicle with the right of way, said police Lt. Stuart Greer.
Ryan was heading westbound on South Street, towards Morristown, at 5:15 pm when his 2002 Harley Davidson motorcycle was struck by the Honda, which was turning from eastbound South Street onto Woodland Avenue, according to the investigation by Officer Eric Petr.
Initial first aid was provided by a volunteer from the Madison Volunteer Ambulance Corps, who happened to arrive on the scene, Greer reported. Emergency personnel from Atlantic Health Services EMS took over, and Brennan was transported to Morristown Medical Center.
Morristown police were assisted by police from Morris Township and by the Morris County Park Police. The Morris County Sheriff’s Department Criminal Investigation Section helped document the scene.
