Jamestown  (JPD)  On Sept 8 at 5:10 pm the Jamestown Police Department responded to a report of an injury accident, involving a motorcycle and a SUV, at the intersection of 10 St SE and 5 Ave SE. Jamestown Area Ambulance was also dispatched to the incident.

Officers arrived and investigated the accident. The investigation determined a 2014 Buick Enclave had been stopped at the stop sign on 5 Ave SE, facing north, at the 10 St SE intersection. A 2002 Kawasaki motorcycle was eastbound on 10 St SE, in the inside lane of travel, after having just left the 4 Ave SE intersection. There were other vehicles traveling eastbound in the outside lane of 10 St SE and the front vehicle in the outside lane indicated a turning movement onto 5 Ave SE. The Buick proceeded to pull into the intersection, as the driver did not see any other traffic which would have the right-of-way and her view was possibly obstructed by the other vehicles in the outside lane.
Both drivers attempted evasive action to avoid the accident once they saw one another. The motorcycle struck the Buick in the left-rear tire area, causing minor damage to both vehicles.

The Buick was being driven by 62-year-old Cynthia Schauer of Jamestown. The Kawasaki motorcycle was being driven by 44-year-old Cricket Bear of Jamestown.

Bear did have a non-life-threatening injury, but refused medical treatment by Jamestown Area Ambulance, at the scene. Bear was later taken to Jamestown Regional Medical Center by personal conveyance, for medical attention. Schauer did not sustain any injuries.

Bear was cited on suspicion of driving while operator’s license is suspended. The incident remains under investigation.
