Two motorcycles are reported down in the road at Liberty Street and Sumner Street, Batavia.
Unknown injuries.
City Fire and Mercy EMS dispatched.
UPDATE 8:15 p.m.: Two motorcyclists collided, no other vehicles involved. Both drivers were seen walking around the scene. Mercy EMS has left the scene without transporting anyone. The accident is under investigation and Batavia City Police will provide an update later.
UPDATE 10:30 p.m.: The investigation so far indicates that the two motorcycles were southbound on Liberty, speed unknown, when the front motorcycle slowed suddenly and the driver of the trailing bike (pictured above) did not see the front bike slowing in time to slow himself down and he rear-ended the first bike. The first rider was transported by a private vehicle to an unknown hospital for treatment/evaluation. The second rider was uninjured. No citations were issued. Sgt. Mitchell Cowen said, perhaps coincidentally, he had been dispatched minutes before the crash was reported to East Main Street to investigate a complaint of two motorcycles driving at a high speed and recklessly on East Main Street. A firefighter on scene had also said two motorcycles had been speeding on Evans Street shortly before the crash. There is no evidence, however, that the two bikes involved in the crash were the same bikes reported elsewhere in the city earlier.
