Cumberland motorcyclist improving after crash

A 21-year-old Cumberland man is in fair condition at Rhode Island Hospital this afternoon, a day after his motorcycle collided with a car on Mendon Road.

Joseph P. Borges, of 150 Staples Road, was riding south yesterday afternoon on a 1988 Suzuki motorcycle when he collided with a 2002 Chrysler sedan driven by Eugene Turgeon, of 65 Heroux Blvd., Cumberland.

The police say Turgeon, driving in the northbound lane, was making a left turn into a Shell gas station at 3492 Mendon Rd.

Borges, who was not wearing a helmet, was taken to Rhode Island Hospital and was listed in critical condition late last night, according to Lt. James Coyne.

Turgeon and his passenger, Estelle D. Turgeon, were not injured.
