ORANJESTAD, Aruba — A Tanki Flip motorcycle crash left a rider injured Friday morning after a Kia Sportage driver reportedly failed to yield, according to local reporting.
Police and ambulance respond in Tanki Flip
AWE24 reported that police and an ambulance were sent to Tanki Flip after authorities received notice of a collision involving an injured person. The report identified the vehicles as a Kia Sportage and a motorcycle.
The outlet said the Sportage driver did not give the motorcyclist the right of way and struck the motorcycle. The report did not provide the injured rider’s identity or a medical update.
Cause remains attributed to the initial report
The right-of-way account is based on the source’s initial description. No independent police statement, citation or final collision finding was included in the available report. Drivers approaching turns and intersections are expected to check carefully for motorcycles, whose smaller profile can make them harder to see.
