A 16-year-old motorcyclist sustained major injuries in a collision with a turning vehicle on First Street in Livermore on Monday afternoon, city police said.

The incident occurred at about 3:30 p.m. when a motorcycle traveling eastbound on First Street collided with an oncoming vehicle that was making a left turn into a business entryway just past the Portola Avenue intersection, according to Livermore police spokesperson Azenith Smith.

The motorcycle rider, identified only as a 16-year-old boy, was transported to a local hospital for treatment of undisclosed major injuries, according to Smith.

"At this point, the investigation is in the early stages and fault has yet to be determined," Smith told Livermore Vine.

Police closed northbound First Street between Portola Avenue and Mines Road for approximately three hours into the evening on Monday due to the crash investigation and cleanup.
