A motorcyclist was rushed to hospital with serious injuries after a collision Sunday on Saskatoon’s west side.

The collision between the motorcycle and a passenger vehicle happened just before 2 p.m. at 33rd Street West and Circle Drive.

The vehicle was on its roof with one person trapped inside and the motorcycle was in the middle of the intersection when crews arrived, the Saskatoon Fire Department said in a release.

Fire paramedics started treating the motorcyclist, while other crews stabilized the vehicle to begin extraction of the trapped person.

The motorcyclist was taken to Royal University Hospital with what fire officials said were serious and possibly life-threatening injuries.
