Fort Wayne motorcyclist critically injured

Friday, July 6, 2012 - 11:08 am

High speed may have contributed to a motorcycle rider being critically injured Thursday afternoon on Nuttman Avenue, according to Fort Wayne Police.

At around 1:51 p.m., police responded to the 2900 block of Nuttman, where officers found a single motorcycle down. The driver, Jyuan D. Davis, 31, of Fort Wayne, was taken to a local hospital, where he remained in critical condition this morning.

Preliminary reports indicate the motorcycle was traveling eastbound at a high speed and Davis lost control of the bike while crossing railroad tracks, according to FWPD spokeswoman Raquel Foster. He was not wearing a helmet and he suffered severe head trauma, according to Foster.

This crash remains under investigation.
