Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - There has been another serious motorcycle accident in Rochester.

Police were called to the 2000 block of 2nd St SW near Beetles Bar and Grill around 8 a.m. Thursday morning to investigate an accident involving a motorcycle and a motor vehicle.

A preliminary report indicates the driver of the motorcycle was given CPR at the scene and then taken to St. Mary’s Hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries.

The police department’s accident mapping unit was sent to the site and may be there for the remainder of the morning, affecting both east and west traffic on that stretch of 2nd Street. Motorists are advised to use alternate routes.
