Two motorcyclists were seriously injured in a collision that occurred in Torrington on Saturday night.
Around 7:30 p.m., police arrived at the scene of the collision on Winsted Road near the Lowes plaza entrance.
According to the police, they discovered two motorcycle riders close to their own, both of whom had serious injuries.
