Clovis Police spokesman Ty Wood said the driver in a SUV was southbound on Cypress and stopped at the sign at Sierra. The driver made a left turn onto eastbound Sierra when the motorcyclist was riding westbound before both colliding.
The motorcyclist was taken to the hospital and is listed in critical condition. The motorcyclist was wearing a helmet, Wood said.
