A motorcycle crash in Connecticut left one man injured and another facing charges on Sunday. The crash occurred around 4:30 pm at the intersection of Washington Street and Housatonic Avenue in New Milford. According to police, a 27-year-old man had been operating his Yamaha motorcycle when he collided with a Jeep driven by a 28-year-old man.
The rider was taken to Danbury Hospital where he is being treated for serious injuries. Although details of the accident are still under investigation, it appears that the driver of the Jeep failed to see the motorcycle before attempting to make a left turn across the lane of travel. The rider was unable to avoid a collision and slammed into the side of the vehicle.
The driver of the Jeep has been charged with failing to yield the right-of-way and other violations. He is due to appear in court later this week. Authorities are asking anyone else who witnessed the accident to contact the New Milford Police Department.
Motorcycle crashes can be devastating, leaving riders with severe injuries and property damage.

Always check your blind spots and use extra caution when making turns, especially across lanes of traffic. In addition, riders should wear proper protective gear and follow the rules of the road.
This accident serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers of motorcycling and the importance of safe driving. We urge all drivers and riders to take every precaution to ensure the safety of themselves and those around them.
