A 69 year old motorcyclist was seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash near the intersection of North Conway Road and State Highway 107 at around 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday after colliding with a Chevrolet Silverado and a Harley Davidson motorcycle—he was taken to a local hospital while investigators continue examining the crash.
