On March 19, 2024, at 6:20 p.m., Officers responded to Theodore Street and Pebble Beach Drive for a report of a traffic crash with injuries. A preliminary investigation of the crash determined the following:
A Suzuki motorcycle operated by a male (20, Plainfield) was westbound on Theodore Street, approaching Pebble Beach Drive in the curb lane.
