A Warren County man and a Vicksburg teen airlifted to University Medical Center following a Sunday evening wreck were in good condition this morning, hospital spokesman Matt Westerfield said.

Timothy Thorpe, 41, 1460 Oak Ridge Road, was traveling northbound on U.S. 61 North on a Yamaha motorcycle when a Dodge Durango driven by Cheryl Harris, 17, 151 Elizabeth Circle, pulled in front of Thorpe, Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol Trooper Daniel Lewis said.

Lewis said Harris was waiting at the intersection in front of River Region Medical Center before she turned onto the highway, hitting Thorpe.
