Middlebury Police Log: Police respond to two motorcycle accidents

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police responded to two separate car-versus-motorcycle accidents, with injuries, on Aug. 6.
The first accident occurred at the intersection of Ossie Road and Route 7 in Middlebury. Police said a vehicle driven by 72-year-old David Williams of Bristol collided with the back-end of a motorcycle driven by James Perry, 65, of Hudson, Mass. Police said a woman riding on the back of the motorcycle — Beth Ellen Ogden, 49, of Marlborough, Mass. — was taken to Porter Hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.
The second accident took place on Route 30, just short of the Cornwall town line. Police said a motorcycle driven by Cody Greene, 24, of Bristol collided with the left rear of a vehicle being driven by Carole Mariani, 74, of Suffern, N.Y. Greene was taken to Porter Hospital by Middlebury Regional EMS, and then to UVM Medical Center in Burlington for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash.
Police said Mariani was also taken to Porter Hospital, and the accident remains under investigation.
