Meanwhile the two people injured in the crash in which one person was transported by CareFlight are no longer listed as hospital patients.

Emergency crews were called around 5:38 p.m. on May 18 to the 1100 block of North Limestone Street near the intersection of McCreight Avenue, according to a crash report.

A Yamaha motorcycle was traveling south on North Limestone Street in the left lane when a Toyota Camry attempted to cross the street from a private driveway at Walgreens going west into Speedway.
