Fort Collins Police say the driver of a Dodge Dakota pickup hit two motorcycles within a short time on Sunday afternoon.

That's according to a post on the Fort Collins Police Services Facebook page.

According to the post, police were first called to a vehicle versus motorcycle crash at 4:43 pm at the intersection of South College Avenue and Columbia Avenue. The drive of the pickup fled the scene, according to police. But about two minutes later police got a call about a second pickup/motorcycle crash north of Drake Road on South College Avenue.

The driver kept driving on South College, but the pickup left it's license plate attached to a bumper which came off the truck in the second collision. Using that evidence, police went to the home of the registered owner of the pickup. They found the vehicle with damage consistent with the damage reported in the crashes, as well as the driver. Police say the spoke with the driver, who was cooperative with investigators.

The post says police are trying to determine whether the driver may have suffered from medical issues that might have contributed to the crashes. The post says investigators have pieced together what may have happened:

The investigation to this point has revealed that the Dodge Dakota was traveling southbound on College Avenue when it collided with a 2022 black Harley Davidson Road Glide motorcycle near Columbia Road. That motorcycle had two people on it; an adult male and an adult female. Both of them were transported to an area hospital with complaint of injuries. The Dakota continued southbound when it then struck a 2012 black Harley Davidson Sportster 48 motorcycle just north of Drake Road. That rider, an adult male as well, was transported to an area hospital with serious but nonlife-threatening injuries.

Anyone with information regarding this collision who has not already spoken to police is asked to call Officer David Kaes at (970) 416 2229.

While car crashes can occur anywhere, some roads in Wyoming are more dangerous than others.

According to Wyoming Highway Patrol data, there were 117 fatal crashes in the Cowboy State in 2022 resulting in 133 deaths.

Of those fatal crashes, the majority (13.68%) occurred in Laramie County -- two in January, one in February, one in March, two in April, one in June, two in July, three in August, two in September, one in November, and one in December.

Sweetwater County saw the second most fatal crashes last year, 12, while Fremont and Lincoln counties each saw 10.

Albany and Park counties each recorded eight, and Campbell, Converse, and Natrona counties each tallied seven.

The deadliest 2022 crash in Laramie County took place on June 17 when two semis collided on Interstate 80 east of Cheyenne and immediately became engulfed in flames killing both drivers and a passenger.



Laramie County also saw two fatal crashes involving motorcyclists, two fatal crashes involving juveniles, and a fatal crash involving a pedestrian last year.
