A motorcycle driver was killed Tuesday night in a crash on Grape Road in Mishawaka.
It happened just south of Edison Lakes Parkway, right in front of the Outback Steak House.
Police say the motorcycle was heading south on Grape when it hit a car pulling out of the Outback parking lot. As the car pulled out, it was struck on the driver’s side by the motorcycle.
Nicholas Bernardi, 21 years old, was driving the motorcycle. He was declared dead at the scene.
His passenger, 36-year-old Dawn Price, was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.
Rescuers had to cut the car's driver from her car, and she along with her passenger had minor injuries.
Police say excessive speed by the motorcycle is a factor in the crash. Results from drug and alcohol tests on both drivers are pending.
Police ask that any witnesses to the crash, who have not already talked to police, call the Mishawaka Police Department Traffic Investigations Bureau at 574-259-2966.
