Sentinel staff report– Citrus Heights police closed down a section of Oak Avenue Monday afternoon following a major injury collision involving a motorcyclist and a pickup truck.
In a news release issued Monday evening, police said several 911 calls were received around 2:30 p.m. regarding an injury collision on Oak Avenue at Olivine Avenue, near C-Bar-C Park. Responding officers found a male motorcyclist on the ground, “unconscious and suffering from major injuries,” police said. The man was taken to a hospital where he is currently being treated.
Police said the collision involved a 2018 Harley Davidson motorcycle and a 1999 Chevrolet pickup truck. The driver of the truck involved was not injured and has been cooperative with a subsequent investigation of the collision, according to police.
Although the cause of collision was not included in Monday’s statement from police, the department said drug/alcohol impairment and speed do not appear to be factors in the collision.

An update on the motorcyclist’s condition was not immediately available from police, following a request made on Thursday afternoon.
