When deputies arrived, they found a 1991 Kawasaki motorcycle in the bushes alongside the road. The motorcycle’s male rider and female passenger were lying in the street with severe injuries. Deputies attended to the two injured individuals until Metro West Ambulance transported them to a local hospital.
Deputies learned the other vehicle involved in the crash had fled the scene. Witnesses described the suspect vehicle as a silver Chevrolet sedan.
