An 18-year-old motorcyclist’s leg was severed when his bike barreled down the wrong way of a street into an SUV in Brooklyn Saturday evening.

A passenger on the bike suffered a head injury in the accident, which happened just before 8:30 p.m. at Avenue C and McDonald Avenue the Kensington section, police said.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the motorcyclist was driving the wrong way on Avenue C when he slammed into the SUV, which was traveling north on McDonald, according to the NYPD.
