The Great Falls Police Department on Tuesday released information about Monday’s crash.
The crash was reported at about 3:12 p.m. near the intersection of 10th Avenue South and 41st Street.
The GFPD says the initial investigation shows that the passenger vehicle was westbound on 10th Avenue South and the motorcycle was eastbound.
The driver of the car was preparing to turn left into a business and appears to have not seen the motorcycle heading east.
The car turned in front of the motorcycle, and the motorcycle struck the front end of the car; the force of the collision sent the motorcyclist flying over the car.
