Police say they have laid charges in relation to a collision last month that left a 59-year-old female motorcyclist in hospital with serious injuries.
The crash took place Aug. 28 on Regional Road 20 near Streamside Drive in West Lincoln between a blue Hyundai Tucson and a white Harley Davidson motorcycle.
The motorcyclist, a resident of West Lincoln, was transported to an out-of-town trauma centre for advanced medical care. She remained in hospital on Monday listed in stable condition, Niagara Regional Police said in a news release.
At the time of the collision, police said the driver of the Hyundai was taken to a local hospital for treatment of what were believed to be minor injuries.
On Sept. 13, detectives charged the driver of the Hyundai, a 53-year-old female from Smithville, under the Highway Traffic Act with one count of careless driving causing bodily harm.
She is scheduled to appear at the Welland Provincial Courthouse, 445 East Main St. in Welland on Nov. 7.
