A motorcycle and car collided in Vandalia Sunday evening, injuring the motorcycle rider.

State police say the crash occurred at the intersection of West Randolph Street and Rock Island Avenue just after 6:30pm. 

Prelminary information is that the car, driven by 83-year-old Edith Elliot of Vandalia, stopped at the intersection, then continued through the intersection. The cycle, ridden by 22-year-old Dustin Mays of Shobonier, was headed west at what police termed "a high rate of speed" and struck Elliot's car on the passenger side.

Mays was airlifted to HSHS St. John's Hospital in Springfield.
