East Prince RCMP are investigating a motorcycle accident which occurred at approximately 8:15 PM on Sunday Aug. 29 at

the intersection of Route 1A and Route 171 in Central Bedeque.

The initial investigation indicates the driver of a black coloured 2003 Harley Davidson Heritage Soft Tail, who was traveling north on Route 1A,

lost control of the motorcycle as a result of applying its brakes, after a blue colored 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix made a left-hand turn from

Route 1A onto Route 171 across the on-coming path of the motorcycle.

While the motorcycle and car did not collide, as a result of the loss of control the motorcycle fell on its side and slid for a distance

along the road surface.

The 51-year-old driver of the Harley Davidson and his 46-year-old female passenger, both of whom are from St-Philippe, PEI, were

transported from the scene by Island EMS to Prince County Hospital.

The female passenger was then transported to Moncton, NB with very serious injuries. The male driver remains in

Prince County Hospital with what are described as “non-life-threatening” injuries.

The RCMP were assisted at the scene by Island EMS, the Kinkora Fire Department and an RCMP Technical Traffic Collision investigator.

The investigation into this collision continues and the RCMP are asking anyone who may have witnessed this collision to please contact the

East Prince Office at (902) 436-9300.
