INDIANAPOLIS — Six people on motorcycles were hurt in a crash during an organized motorcycle ride Saturday afternoon in Indianapolis.

The crash was along I-70, just west of downtown.

State police were called about several people on motorcycles hurt in a crash. Troopers got there to find one of the riders bleeding profusely from their arm and had to use a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. Another rider was knocked unconscious.

“The chain reaction crash began when a white passenger vehicle cut in between some of the riders, causing one motorcyclist to take evasive action, striking another motorcycle,” said Sgt. John Perrine. “Two other motorcyclists laid their motorcycles down trying to avoid the crash.”

The car drove off from the wreck. The six riders hurt were taken to various hospitals. Five of the six are stable. The sixth rider’s condition, who was in the most serious condition when they were taken from the crash scene, is not known at this time.
