CANTON (CBS) -- A motorcyclist lost control of his bike Sunday night on Interstate 93 at Exit 2B and suffered injuries that were considered life-threatening, the Massachusetts State Police reported in a prepared statement.
At 7:53 p.m., troopers from the state police barracks in Milton were dispatched to the crash, which occurred on the southbound side of the highway.
A 43-year-old Dedham man operating the 1998 Suzuki motorcycle lost control of the bike and suffered life-threatening injuries in the crash, the state police said. A medical helicopter took the man, whom the state police did not identify, to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. I-93 was closed for a short time to create a secure landing zone for the helicopter.
A passenger on the motorcycle, a 36-year-old woman from Dedham, suffered injuries that were considered serious but not life-threatening, the state police said. The woman, who also was not identified by state police, was taken in an ambulance to Norwood Hospital.
