A motorcyclist was flown to an out-of-state hospital after a collision with a vehicle on US 62 in Princeton Tuesday afternoon.
Princeton Assistant Police Chief Shane Allison says officers responded to US 62 in front of Taco Johns shortly after 1:30 for a collision involving a passenger car and a motorcycle.
According to the investigation, 57-year old Floyd A. Teague of Providence was traveling west on US 62 when a car driven by 50-year old Anetta V. Gray of Princeton pulled out in front of him from the Taco Johns parking lot as she was attempting to make a left onto US 62. Allison says several witnesses at the scene told officers that the car pulled out in front of the motorcycle. The motorcycle reportedly hit the car in the driver-side quarter panel causing Teague to be ejected from the motorcycle.
Officers indicate Teague was not wearing a helmet. Allison says Teague was treated on the scene by Caldwell County EMS and later flown by Air Evac to St. Vincents Hospital in Evansville for multiple injuries. Gray was reportedly taken to Caldwell County Hospital by Caldwell County EMS for possible injuries.
Officers were assisted on the scene by Princeton Fire Department, Caldwell County EMS, and the Princeton Police Accident Reconstruction Officer.
As of Wednesday morning, Assistant Chief Allison says Teague was reported as being in stable condition.
