PHILADELPHIA - Police say three people were hurt when a pair of motorcycles collided and smashed into a parked 18-wheeler on Roosevelt Boulevard Monday night.
Emergency crews were called to the area of Roosevelt Boulevard and Rising Sun Avenue around 9:30 p.m. for reports of a "severe accident." Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told reporters that a 38-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were riding a motorcycle together on the outer lanes of Roosevelt Boulevard when they collided with a 30-year-old woman on another bike.
The collision caused one of the bikes to slam into a parked 18-wheeler, according to Small. Debris from the crash - which included clothing, vehicle fragments and body parts - stretched for roughly 300 feet.
The 38-year-old man was found lying on the highway missing a leg and completely unresponsive, Small said. The 24-year-old woman was also found unresponsive on the highway.
