MILLCREEK, Utah -- A man is in extremely critical condition following an auto vs. motorcycle accident near 700 E. and 4100 S. in Millcreek.

According to Sgt. Melody Gray with the Unified Police Department, just after 1 p.m. Friday, a red car was traveling on 700 E. and was forced to stop quickly in order to avoid colliding with other vehicles.

A motorcycle that was behind the red car attempted to also stop quickly, but collided with the vehicle, Gray said.
