This is an update to the initial post regarding a traffic crash investigation
earlier this morning at 62nd Ave and 39th ST N.  Through investigation,
officers determined a crash occurred between a motor scooter and a vehicle. 
The rider of the motor scooter, Jared Hernandez, sustained severe injuries and
was transported to a local hospital where he is listed in serious condition. 
At the time of the crash, a helmet was located on scene but unknown if Jared
Hernandez was wearing it.

The crash occurred when the driver of the Nissan sedan, Danea Coleman, made a
left turn from eastbound 62nd Ave to travel north on 39th St.  As a result of
the turn, Danea Coleman violated the right of way of Jared Hernandez, who
struck the side of the vehicle.  Speed or impairment are not factors in this
crash.  Danea Coleman has been issued a citation for the violation.

The roadway was closed for several hours to complete the investigation but has
since resumed normal traffic flow.

No further updates are expected regarding this crash.
