Motorcyclist Critically Hurt in I-435 Crash, No Helmet

0:00A motorcycle has got thrown from his bike and critically hurt in a crash on Interstate 435 in Kansas City. It went down just before 120 pm on Thursday, April 2nd, right near Highway 40. Cops say the rider was speeding southbound on a black Harley Davidson when a red Ford escape cut into his lane and slammed into him. The biker had no helmet on, so he flew off hard and paramedics rushed him to the hospital in critical shape. That caused two southbound lanes to shut down for around 2 hours, backing up traffic big time. By Thursday evening, his condition bumped up to serious but stable. The Ford driver came out without a single injury. Police are still digging into what happened and haven't dropped names for either driver yet. Drivers, watch those lanes close.
