Man in Phoenix hospital following crash involving motorcycle

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A 21-year-old man was riding a Honda motorcycle Tuesday morning when he crashed into the back of a Toyota Scion on South Avenue 3E, next the Marine Corps Air Station.

The man was taken to Onvida Health and then later flown to Phoenix, and the Yuma Police Department (YPD) says they believe speed was a factor in the crash.

"Please just slow down that is I guess, one of the biggest things is speed appears to be a factor in several of them, also reckless driving, weaving in and out of traffic," said YPD Public Informations Officer Lori Franklin.

The 25-year-old man in the Toyota suffered minor injuries, but was not taken to the hospital.
