An Old Town motorcyclist escaped serious injury when a Jeep pulled in front of her on North Main Street on Tuesday afternoon, Old Town officials said.
Kristy Metzgar, 23, had been traveling toward downtown on her Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle when a Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Julene Britt, 29, of Bangor drove out of a parking lot, Old Town police Officer Seth Bear said. Metzgar had been riding at around 25 mph and forced her motorcycle into a slide on its left side to avoid a serious collision.
The front tire of the motorcycle struck the Jeep, Bear said. Damage to the motorcycle was estimated at $1,000, while the Jeep was not damaged.
Metzgar was taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, where she was treated briefly, the officer said. Britt was not injured.
Charges are pending, Bear said.
