One driver was injured when a motorcycle and SUV collided Saturday afternoon.
The Effingham County Sheriff’s Office said the collision occurred at 5:22pm at Rickelman Avenue and North 4th Street. The motorcycle, operated by 55-year-old Sharon Jones of Altamont, stopped at the intersection traveling westbound. The SUV, operated by 70-year-old Jeanne Ordner of Teutopolis, was eastbound and stopped at the intersection. Deputies say Jones began to travel westbound and due to a wet roadway lost control of the cycle. The cycle crossed into the other lane and struck Ordner’s vehicle.
Jones was injured and was transported by Rural Med EMS to HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital for treatment.
Neither driver was injured.
