The accident happened as a motorcycle was traveling south on General Booth Boulevard. At the intersection with Oceana Boulevard, a car made a left turn in front of the motorcycle, which was unable to avoid hitting the car.
The driver of the motorcycle suffered internal injuries and the passenger suffered a compound fracture of her arm.
