Two people were driving and there was one passenger on the motorcycles, and all three were taken to a hospital.
The passenger was a 17-year-old who police said was in critical condition.
The father of one of the riders told FOX31 that all three were wearing helmets at the time of the crash. Police later confirmed this.
