UPDATE:

Officer Freeman arrested Mark Flaming (age 33), of Batavia for two counts of tampering with evidence, one count of leaving the scene of a serious personal injury accident, unregistered motorcycle, uninsured motorcycle, improper plates and operating without a proper license following further investigation into this accident.

It was determined that after the initial collision with the passenger vehicle another motorcycle, being operated by Flaming, ran over the operator of the first motorcyle while he was down in the roadway and then fled the scene. It is alleged that Flaming attempted to alter the appearance of his motorcycle to avoid detection following the accident. Flaming was issued traffic and appearance tickets to appear at a later date in City Court to answer the charges.
