SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A crash between a motorcycle and a car on Thursday night left the motorcycle driver dead, a passenger seriously injured and the other driver behind bars. According to a press release from the Springfield Police Department (SPD), they responded to reports of a vehicle crash at Cherry Street and Dysart Avenue at around 8:56 p.m. SPD says a 2008 Chrysler Sebring was eastbound on Cherry Street when the vehicle turned left onto Dysart and into the path of a westbound motorcycle.
