According to police, charges are pending against the 29-year-old motorcycle driver who crashed into the back of a car in Virginia Beach on July 20, resulting in him sustaining life-threatening personal injuries that left him in critical condition at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.

Police spokesman Wayne Gilbert said that on the day of the crash, police received a call shortly before 5 a.m. regarding an accident at the intersection of Lavender Lane and Longfellow Avenue.

A 1998 Toyota Corolla was making a right-hand turn onto Longfellow from Lavender when the bike, a 2008 Eagle motor scooter, crashed into its rear, according to Gilbert. The Eagle is considered a motorcycle due to its 150 cc engine.

When crews arrive, they discovered the rider suffering from serious personal injuries. According to Gilbert, the driver was not wearing his helmet at the time of the crash. He said that investigators said driver inexperience and alcohol were both factors in the crash.

According to Gilbert, there are charges pending against the man for driving under the influence, driving with a revoked operator’s license, and failure to wear a helmet.
