Police said the driver of a black 2012 Toyota Corolla was traveling eastbound on Pin Oak Drive and used his turn signal to make a left turn onto Oakdale when he saw a 2013 Harley Davidson motorcycle traveling westbound on Pin Oak Drive “at a high rate of speed.”
Police said the motorcyclist tried to turn when they laid the bike down to avoid hitting the vehicle, causing both the operator and passenger to fall.
The two people on the motorcycle were thrown onto the roadway, police said, and neither was wearing a helmet.
The operator of the motorcycle, a 24-year-old man, suffered a serious head injury and was unresponsive at the crash site, police said.
A 13-year-old girl riding the motorcycle sustained serious bodily injury to the legs, police said.
They were both taken to a hospital in serious condition and are in “stable condition” as of Sunday morning, police said.
The driver of the other vehicle remained at the scene, police said, noting no criminal charges are pending in the case.
