About nine o’clock 911 received several calls about a motorcycle crash just west of Harborview Park.
On arrival police and medics found a girl being attended to by people who said she had been the passenger on a motorcycle when it crashed into a retaining wall.
Shortly after the crash a small truck stopped and the motorcycle was put into the bed of the truck and the truck drove west on Mukilteo Boulevard taking away the motorcycle and the person who had been driving it but leaving the injured passenger behind.
The injured girl was transported by medics to Providence Regional Medical Center in very serious condition.
An Everett Police officer located the truck and motorcycle a few minutes later near Narbeck and Mukilteo Boulevard about a half mile west of the crash scene. The two people with the truck were detained.
Police requested an aid crew to check out the man who reportedly had been driving the motorcycle and had scrapes and minor injuries. An ambulance was called to take him to be checked out at Providence.
Everett Police spokesman Aaron Snell tells MyEverettNews.com police are still trying to determine the relationship between the rider and passenger, why the driver of the motorcycle left the scene taking the bike but leaving his passenger behind and whether the two were wearing helmets.
Police are also trying to determine what caused the motorcycle to crash. Police interviewed multiple witnesses at the scene.
Anyone with information or photos is asked to call the Everett Police Tip Line at 425-257-8450.
