Officers were sent to Loudon Road in the area of the Aldi supermarket for a report a vehicle and motorcycle colliding. The roadway was closed down and the driver of the Honda was questioned about the crash. She said she was OK, according to a report. The reporting officer could not find the motorcyclist, but the woman pointed to an area by Aldi and said he was there. The officer spoke to the motorcyclist, Bergeron, who said he had a shattered right arm that was numb and could not move it although he was not feeling any pain, an affidavit stated. Dispatch said Bergeron was a habitual offender since June 2021, and fire and rescue teams took him to Concord Hospital. Bergeron's girlfriend, who was at the scene, was questioned about what happened. She said he was having problems with the bike with a fuse at the 7-Eleven but was able to get it restarted. She was traveling behind him in a truck when a vehicle pulled out of the Steeplegate Mall parking lot, running a red light, and he drove into the vehicle, the affidavit said. At the hospital, Bergeron said his friend was riding the motorcycle but was having issues with it and left it at 7-Eleven for him to pick up. Bergeron said 7-Eleven would not allow him to leave the motorcycle there until he could get a tow. He was able to get it restarted and was in the process of riding it to Walmart to park overnight before the crash. Bergeron, on Loudon Road, attempted to speed up to try and beat the yellow light at the intersection, the report said. As the other vehicle pulled into the intersection, he tried to brake but struck the other vehicle, the report stated. The report said Bergeron asked the other driver if she was OK and realized he could not move his right arm. Bergeron said, "I know I f----- up," admitting to driving while being a habitual offender, the affidavit said. According to the officer, the plate on the motorcycle was for a 2005 Harley-Davidson, but the VIN on the bike involved in the crash was a 2009 Kawasaki. Bergeron, the officer wrote, was convicted of drunken driving in November 2017 in Concord District Court. A second officer spoke to the driver of the Honda, which had a Florida registration, who said she pulled out after the light turned green and saw the motorcycle "driving at an incredibly fast speed" before the crash, the report said. She added that she did not think she could get out of the way in time. Read more about this case here: Crossover And Motorcycle Crash On Loudon Road In Concord: Watch
