When rescuers arrived, they discovered that the motorcyclist was trapped under the SUV. Emergency personnel from the local fire department had to come remove the injures man from underneath the large passenger vehicle. He was transported to a hospital for treatment. He is expected to survive, but the extent of his injuries is not yet clear.
