State Police say both the driver and passenger of a mini-bike were injured Friday night and transferred to an area hospital after it collided with a car on Old US 51 at the entrance to Hillcrest Memorial Park.

Preliminary information indicates the mini-bike was traveling northbound on Old US 51 without any headlights or tail lights operating.  The mini-bike crashed into the front right passenger side when a southbound car attempted to turn left into Hillcrest Memorial Cemetery entrance.

The driver of the car was not injured.

The crash occurred at 7:15 Friday night.

We’ll have more details as they are released by State Police.
