Motorcyclist Severely Injured in a Crash Released – Thursday, July 17, 2008 Kenton – A female motorcyclist was severely injured after being struck by a pick up truck east of Kenton. At approximately 11:49 a.m., Troopers along with Emergency Medical Personnel responded to the area of Mt. Friendship Road (SR 15) and Wheatleys Pond Road (SR 300) two miles east of Kenton for a serious personal injury collision involving a motorcycle. The investigation revealed that a 17 year old Dover man was operating a 2001 Mazda pick up truck traveling westbound on Wheatleys Pond Road. He was attempting to turn southbound on Mt. Friendship Road when he cut the corner too sharp and struck a motorcycle being operated by Suzanne Potter, 45, of Smyrna. The impact ejected Ms. Potter from the motorcycle striking her head on the ground. Ms. Potter, who was not wearing a helmet, was flown to Christiana Hospital by Delaware State Police Helicopter where she is being treated for life threatening injuries. Seatbelts were used by the pick up truck operator. Alcohol was not a factor. Charges are pending and the investigation has been turned over the State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit out of Troop 3.
