Overturned motorcycle - 8th Street East at Circle Drive East

At approximately 8:09 this morning, the Saskatoon Fire Department was alerted to a motor vehicle collision on 8th Street East at the Circle Drive overpass. 

Two Fire Engines, one Heavy Rescue Unit, and one Battalion Chief were dispatched for response. Upon arrival of the first responding fire crew, it was observed that a single motorcycle had overturned and that extrication would not be required.

The lone male driver of the motorcycle was in need of medical attention and was tended to by Firefighter Paramedics before being transported to hospital for further treatment of what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries.

Fire crews removed the motorcycle and its debris from the roadway. A tow truck was contacted for collection of the inoperable and damaged motorcycle.

The Saskatoon Fire Department has concluded its involvement in this incident and the scene has been left with the Saskatoon Police Service.
