A preliminary investigation determined a Harley Davidson motorcycle was eastbound on NE 45th Terrace and crested the hill in the area of N. Lister, according KCPD Police Captain Jake Becchina.
The driver observed a motorized scooter in the middle of the roadway. The motorcycle driver attempted an emergency evasive maneuver that resulted in the operator being ejected off the motorcycle. The unoccupied motorcycle then struck the motorized scooter.
