Two people on a motorcycle were injured when it collided with a passenger car on the Berm Highway near the entrance to the Mel Price Locks and Dam on Sunday afternoon. Both were airlifted to hospitals in St. Louis for treatment, one at the scene of the crash and later the other from an Alton hospital.
The crash remains under investigation, but the initial report indicates the car was traveling westbound on Route 143 and was turning onto Lock and Dam Way when it was struck by the motorcycle. The Alton Fire Department and Alton Police Department responded to the scene, with assistance from East Alton and Wood River Police Departments. The names of those involved were not released.
