A man from West Allis was injured Saturday in a motorcycle crash outside Oconomowoc.

According to officials with the Wisconsin State Patrol, a 31 year-old motorcyclist was traveling west on Interstate 94 in Waukesha County shortly after 5:00 p.m. when a yellow SUV braked suddenly and crossed in font of a Lexus SUV to make an illegal U-turn. Police say the 43 year-old Fitchburg man driving the Lexus stopped suddenly to avoid the SUV.

A statement released by the State Patrol said two motorcyclists were traveling behind the Lexus and attempted to maneuver around the vehicle to avoid a crash. The first motorcyclist was able to steer clear of the SUV, but the second biker collided with its left-rear quarter.

The motorcyclist’s name was withheld by police. The man was transported by ambulance to an area hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
