PICKERING -- A Pickering woman was seriously injured after crashing through a fence and driving her motorcycle into a house on Monday.
At around 10 a.m. June 22, a 43-year-old Pickering woman stalled her blue 2007 Suzuki motorcycle at the Dellbrook Avenue and Major Oak Road intersection in Pickering.
After restarting the bike from her stopped position, the driver lost control and drove across a residential front lawn, through a fence and into the wall of a home, say Durham police.
The woman was transported to the hospital and later airlifted to Sunnybrook Hospital. She suffered multiple fractures to her wrist, right leg, facial bones and vertebrae and is scheduled for reconstructive surgery.
The road was closed for several hours while police investigated and they determined road and weather conditions were favourable and believe alcohol wasn't a factor.
Police are still looking to speak to witnesses. Call: Det. Const. Gribbons of the Traffic Services Branch at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5225 or Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
