According to the Daily Memphian, which obtained the police report on the accident, at about 6:30 p.m. on Saturday officers responded to a two-vehicle crash at N. Watkins and Chelsea Avenue.
The driver of a 2010 Mercedes was trying to make a left turn onto Chelsea from N. Watkins when he turned into the path of Hamilton’s 2006 Suzuki GSX.
Hamilton attempted to avoid the other vehicle by turning right, but his motorcycle still collided with the front passenger side of the Mercedes, which led to him being thrown from his motorcycle.
