Metro Police said a motorcyclist suffered critical injuries Tuesday night after a multiple-vehicle crash in the southwest valley.

Police said the accident happened at 7:46 p.m. at the intersection of Warm Springs Road and Tenaya Way.

Authorities said a 2010 Harley Davidson motorcycle, driven by 35-year-old Clinton Parker of British Columbia, Canada, was northbound on Tenaya Way crossing Warm Spring Roads after a stop sign.

A 2002 Chevrolet Blazer traveling east on Warm Springs Road collided with the motorcycle, which was knocked to the ground in a northeast direction, police said.

A 2000 Isuzu Hombre westbound on Warm Springs Road then struck the motorcycle, causing it to slide to a stop in the northwest part of the intersection. Meanwhile, Parker, who had been ejected from the motorcycle, slid to the northeast curb of the intersection, police said.

Parker was taken to University Medical Center with critical injuries. Authorities said he was wearing a helmet when the accident happened.

The driver of the Isuzu, 52-year-old Enrico Cano, was taken to St. Rose San Martin Hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the Chevrolet, 61-year-old Annette Lesko, wasn't injured. The investigation is ongoing.
