A motorcyclist was killed after spreading a sedan across Hawthorne streets Tuesday night, police said.
The Hawthorn Police Department issued a media release early Wednesday morning, saying officers responded to a report of a traffic collision involving a motorcyclist just before 9pm near the intersection of 120th Avenue and Freeman Avenue between Hawthorn Boulevard and Prairie Avenue.
When officers arrived they found a heavily damaged bike and sedan, and an unresponsive motorcyclist was found lying on the road.

“The firefighters provided emergency medical care on the scene and transported motorcyclists to nearby trauma centres,” the media release reads. “Unfortunately, the motorcyclist was later declared to have passed away in a medical facility.”
No details surrounding their identity have been released.

A preliminary HPD investigation revealed that the motorcyclist had moved east on the 120th as the sedan tried to cross the street north on Cedar Avenue.
“As a result of this movement, the bikes have wide-ranging the crossing cars,” police said.
