A Bloomington man suffered significant head injuries and several broken bones in a motorcycle accident Sunday.
Michael May, 50, was driving southbound on North Walnut Street near Fritz Drive at about 3 p.m. Sunday when he approached two vehicles that were stopped on the road, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said.
May swerved to avoid collision with the vehicles and crashed his motorcycle on its side.
He was taken to IU Health Bloomington Hospital and admitted for treatment, Kellams said.
Hospital staff could not confirm May’s condition Monday.
May was bleeding and was acting combative initially, behavior common with serious head injuries, Kellams said.
May’s motorcycle did not collide with any other vehicles during the crash. Kellams could not confirm whether or not he was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
BPD sent a reconstructionist to the site of the crash to record measurements and report the circumstances of the crash. A reconstruction report will not be completed unless the crash proves to be fatal, Kellams said.
