Liverpool man in critical condition after Interstate 481 crash
A 29 year old Liverpool man remained in critical condition at University Hospital after his 1997 Kawasaki hit a guardrail and burst into flames on Interstate 481 North in DeWitt. Deputies said speed may have been a factor as the bike broke apart and the gas tank ignited. Nearby, a Saturday shooting left a man with a bullet wound treated at the same hospital. Police charged Joseph Seymour with attempted murder and weapons offenses after a confrontation at 504 West Brighton Avenue. Smoke from a basement fire on Griffith Avenue prompted evacuations. A St Vincent DePaul thrift store employee found a hidden handgun among donated hats, adding to an active investigation.
