Just after 12:15 p.m., officers responded to E. 31st Street and Prospect Avenue on a reported collision. Investigators discovered that the motorcyclist was speeding down Prospect when a gray Ford Escape pulling out of a shopping center parking lot and onto the street struck the driver.
The motorcyclist, who was not wearing a helmet, was ejected from the vehicle, police say. That individual was taken to the hospital with critical injuries.
The driver of the Ford and a passenger, a minor, were uninjured in the crash.
