Motorcyclist survives collision on Hwy. 50 in SLT

A motorcyclist on Friday night was hit by a vehicle turning into Safeway in South Lake Tahoe.

The motorcyclist was taken to Barton Memorial Hospital out of precaution. Police officers plan to interview the South Lake Tahoe man after he has been treated.

The accident occurred about 8:48pm May 26 on Highway 50.

“The damage to the car is in the middle of the passenger side car,” police Officer Doug Sentell told Lake Tahoe News. No one in the car was hurt. The driver as of Friday lives on the North Shore, having moved there from the South Shore.

That vehicle was going west, and the motorcyclist east.

The accident is under investigation.
