MILWAUKEE (AP) - A 35-year-old woman who was a passenger on a motorcycle suffered a serious head injury and died after a crash in Milwaukee.

Police say the woman was not wearing a helmet.

Authorities say the woman and the motorcycle’s driver were both thrown from the bike Saturday night after the motorcycle struck a car that had just pulled out from a stop sign on Fairmount Avenue.

At this time, it appears the motorcycle’s speed was a factor in the crash.

The 35-year-old driver was wearing a helmet and suffered an injury that is not life-threatening. The driver of the car suffered a minor injury.
