AUBURN — One man was sent to the hospital and a woman was issued a summons after an accident involving a motorcycle and sport utility vehicle Friday morning, police said.
Kathryn Libby, 52, of Leeds was heading south on the Maine Turnpike near mile marker 72 when she attempted to make a U-turn at a crossover, according to state Trooper Fern Cloutier.
When she slowed, Jeffrey Jones, 24, of Limington, tried to avoid Libby but his Harley-Davidson bike struck Libby’s Chevrolet Equinox, the trooper said.
Jones, who was not wearing a helmet, suffered a leg fracture and a shoulder injury, according to Cloutier, and was taken to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston for treatment.
Both vehicles had more than $1,000 in damage while Libby suffered scrapes and bruises in the crash.
Libby was ticketed for attempting to make a U-turn on the turnpike, which is illegal, the trooper said.
The violation carries a $165 fine.
