PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — The Pinellas Park Police Department (PPPD) said a motorcycle driver is in critical condition after a crash on 66th Street on Wednesday.

Police said officers responded to a crash involving a Nissan Rogue and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle at 66th Street and 126th Avenue at around 3:10 p.m. on Feb. 4.

PPPD said the motorcycle and Nissan were both traveling north on 66th Street when the motorcycle attempted to change lanes and entered the lane already occupied by the Nissan, resulting in a collision between the two vehicles.

The motorcycle driver, a 64-year-old man, was transported to the hospital and is listed in critical condition, per the report.

Police said the Nissan driver, a 39-year-old woman, remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation.

Investigators said neither speed nor impairment was a factor in this crash.

The northbound lanes of 66th Street were temporarily reduced to one lane at 126th Avenue but have since reopened.
