A motorcyclist was seriously hurt in a crash along Loop 303 in the West Valley early Monday morning.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officials say the crash occurred around 2:20 a.m. when a pick-up truck rear-ended a motorcycle in the northbound lanes, causing the rider to be thrown off.
The truck reportedly dragged the motorcycle about three-quarters of a mile to the Peoria Avenue off-ramp.
The rider was seriously hurt and was dragged out of the roadway by a passerby to prevent him from being struck by another vehicle.
DPS says the rider, a 36-year-old man, was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the truck, a 34-year-old woman, was not hurt. Officials believe fatigue may have been a factor in the crash.
