The motorcyclist who suffered a serious leg injury Wednesday night in a crash in the Burton Ridge Neighborhood was a 12-year-old boy riding a motorized minibike.
Emergency personnel were dispatched at 7:06 p.m. to Northeast Heron Circle and Cranbrook Drive. There, they found a man on the ground after a compact SUV and a small motorcycle collided, Vancouver Fire spokesman Joe Spatz previously told The Columbian.
Vancouver Police Department spokeswoman Kim Kapp said in an email Thursday that the motorcyclist was a child who failed to yield to a vehicle driven by a 48-year-old man.
The boy suffered a compound fracture to his left fibula and a gash that required stitches, Kapp said.
