Two people riding a dirt bike in Fairbanks were injured when they crashed into a car at an intersection, sending the bike's passenger to the hospital with serious injuries.
Fairbanks police reported that local residents Clayton Nelson, 22, and Lakeisha Nollner-Albert, 20, weren't wearing helmets when they were thrown from the motorcycle. Nollner-Albert, the passenger, "sustained serious incapacitating injuries," police said.
Nelson, who was driving the dirt bike, suffered a leg injury, they said.
