Belmont Road is a four-lane road which runs east/west in front of the high school.

- Riverdale Fire Department;
- Bettendorf Police Department; and
- Scott County MEDIC Ambulance.
The Scott County Sheriff's Office School Resource Deputies from Pleasant Valley High School and Scott Community College were first on scene and found the occupants of the motorcycle had sustained injuries.
Investigation revealed a 2023 Honda Motorcycle was operated by an adult female and also occupied by her juvenile son.
The female driver was not wearing a helmet, but the juvenile passenger was.
Investigation determined a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica, driven by an adult female, was pulling out of the high-school parking lot turning left to head west and failed to yield to the motorcycle who was traveling east on Belmont Rd.
However, there was no actual collision between the two vehicles.
The van was able to stop in time to avoid the collision; however, the motorcycle took evasive maneuvers to avoid the impending collision which caused the motorcycle to lay down on its side.
The driver sustained a head injury as a result and was transported to local hospital for treatment.
Her juvenile passenger sustained minor injuries and was also transported to local hospital for treatment.
Their injuries are believed to be non-life threatening.
The driver of the van was uninjured.
The driver of the Chrysler Pacifica was cited for Failure to Yield Upon Entering a Through Highway.
No other information will be released at this time; additional information will follow tomorrow.
