Police officers found a motorcyclist in a Paso Robles intersection suffering from injuries following a collision with a car on Monday.
Shortly after 2:30 p.m., the car crashed into the motorcyclist in the intersection of Spring Street and Seventh Street, ejecting the motorcyclist from his bike. An ambulance transported the biker to Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center with major injuries.
