NEWTOWN — Police say “enforcement action is pending” following a Wednesday evening crash on Route 34 that injured a motorcyclist.

The accident happened around 9:20 p.m., when an eastbound 2018 Subaru Outback failed to grant right-of-way before making a left turn onto the Interstate 84 westbound on-ramp and collided head-on with a 2012 Triumph Bonneville motorcycle traveling west on Church Hill Road.

The Subaru driver — a 19-year-old woman from Patterson, N.Y. — and her 21-year-old passenger were uninjured, according to police, but the motorcyclist — a 69-year-old Bethel man — was transported to Danbury Hospital with “suspected serious injury.”

Police said both vehicles were towed from the scene, and the crash remains under investigation with “enforcement action pending.”
