A motorcycle driver was flown to the hospital in critical condition and a passenger was also hurt after a crash with a pickup truck in Harvard on Sunday.

The Harvard Fire Protection District and Harvard Police Department responded around 4:40 p.m. Sunday to Marengo Road and West Brink Street for a two-vehicle crash with injuries.

Emergency crews found a Chevrolet pickup truck and a motorcycle involved in the crash.

A man driving the motorcycle suffered serious injuries and one of Mercyhealth’s emergency field vehicles โ€” called MD-1 โ€” was called to the scene to help treat him.

MD-1 vehicles are staffed by residency-trained emergency medicine physicians and they can help paramedics stabilize a patient before they are transported to the hospital from a scene.
