A Lexington man is at UK Hospital fighting for his life after police say he was hit by a car Saturday afternoon while riding his motorcycle.
The crash happened around 5 p.m. on North Yarnallton Pike, right in front of the home of the car’s driver.
Police said the two vehicles were heading opposite directions on North Yarnallton, when the car turned into a driveway.
“The Camry slowed and made a left hand turn on Yarnallton and basically turned in front of the motorcyclist,” said Lt. Dean Marcum with the Lexington Police Department.
