Around 8am, Kennewick Police and Fire units responded to the intersection of Clearwater and Arthur Streets about a collision between a motorcycle and a vehicle.

Upon arrival the crews were seen attending to what appeared to be a middle-aged to older male rider.  He was lying on his side on the road.  He was wearing a helmet, and appeared to have leather type protective gear.   The rider didn't have any significant external marks, but did have blood on his face and mouth area.

A white SUV was seen close to the smashed motorcycle, but it is not known if that was involved in the wreck.

We hope to have more information soon. The accident slowed traffic for at least 30-40 minutes before being cleared.
