Police agencies in the area responded to four motor vehicle accidents last weekend that resulted in injuries.
Two people went to Auburn Memorial Hospital Sunday afternoon after the vehicle they were riding in rolled over, the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office said.

The accident happened on state route 326 in Aurelius near Pinckney Road. The Aurelius Fire Department responded. The sheriff's office had little information about the accident.

Cato resident William O'Pitcher remains in critical condition at University Hospital in Syracuse after his motorcycle went off the south shoulder of Stump Road in Skaneateles on Friday, state police in Elbridge said. He was riding a 1977 Harley-Davidson.

Justin A. Burchard, 23, of 14 Jefferson St., Auburn, suffered severe injuries when his Suzuki motorcycle collided with a pickup truck Saturday evening. He has been upgraded to serious condition.

Burchard is in serious condition at University Hospital in Syracuse.

The truck's driver, Jaysen R. Wilcox, 34, of Berger Road, Port Byron, was making a left turn from Berger Road onto state route 38 in the town of Mentz. He did not report any injuries.

Jeffrey Pritchard remains in fair condition at the Syracuse hospital from injuries suffered when a four-door car turned in front of his motorcycle. The Auburn Police Department issued the driver, S.G. Fox-Steigerwald a ticket for failure yield to right of way.

Pritchard, of 19 Elbridge Road in Jordan, was traveling north in the left-hand lane of North Street. Fox-Steigerwald said she did not see the motorcyclist and turned left from Dayton Street onto North Street at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, police said.

Fox-Steigerwald was not injured, police said.
