Elyria – A driver not paying attention was the cause of a crash on Cleveland Street near Save A Lot Friday afternoon.

Cynthia Reed-McKenna was traveling west on Cleveland Street heading for Walgreens when she witnessed the crash. “I saw the guy driving the motorcycle coming down Cleveland Street from East Bridge and then this lady pulled out from the side street there right in front of him. I think he tried to lay the bike down when he saw her cause he hit the ground then slide into her car.”

Reed-McKenna said that traffic came to a stand still once the man hit the ground. “People were all running to him to make sure he was ok and just trying to help before the ambulance got here. He was able to talk and everything right away so that was a good sign.”

Firefighters and Paramedics treated the man on the scene then he was transported to Elyria Memorial Hospital for evaluation of back pains along with some road rash.
