Motorcyclist badly hurt after crash with police car

The incident happened in the area of Estrella Parkway and Van Buren Street. In a brief statement, police say the motorcyclist was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Police did not say whether anyone inside the police department-owned vehicle was hurt.

The Brief

    • Jacob Vela, 38, died after crashing his motorcycle into a Goodyear Police officer's vehicle near Estrella Parkway and Fillmore Street.
    • The officer suffered minor injuries.
    • The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says impairment was not a factor in the crash.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. - A motorcyclist is dead after crashing into a Goodyear Police vehicle on Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

The crash happened just before 12 p.m. on Oct. 22 at the intersection of Estrella Parkway and Fillmore Street.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says an officer was responding to a call and was driving through the intersection with lights and sirens. Jacob Vela, 38, was riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle when he crashed into the officer's vehicle.

MCSO says Vela was not wearing a helmet. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition, where he later died. The officer suffered minor injuries.

"No evidence of alcohol or drug use was found. Failure to yield to an emergency vehicle and excessive speed appear to be the primary contributing factors to this collision," MCSO said in a statement.

No further details on the crash have been released.
