The 51-year-old motorcyclist sustained minor injuries and was also rushed to the hospital. There is no update on the current medical conditions of either person.
 
Police shut down the intersection while doctors determined if either of the victims was seriously injured.

No additional information has been shared with the public, while the investigation continues with the department’s traffic division.
