NEWPORT NEWS – A 27-year-old woman who crashed a motorcycle into a classroom at Warwick High School on Saturday morning was charged with reckless driving, according to police.
Amber Hendricks, of Hopewell, crashed the motorcycle into a mobile classroom which sparked a fire, according to police. Hendricks was also charged with not having a license to operate a motorcycle and operating an uninsured motorcycle, according to Lou Thurston, a Newport News police spokesman.
Police said it appeared Hendricks had been learning to ride a motorcycle in a parking lot at the school, when the accident occurred.
Hendricks was released from the hospital after suffering a number of broken bones in the accident at 10.34 a.m, according to Thurston.
Hendricks is working as a civilian at Fort Eustis in Newport News. Thurston said the mobile classroom was "severely damaged" in the fire.
Fire crews contained the blaze to a single building at Warwick High School.
Branko Radovanovic and his daughter Milica, whose home on Harpersville Road backs onto the Warwick High School parking lot, said the woman appeared to be receiving riding lessons from a man. They said she lost control of the motorcycle when she hit a curb and hit the mobile classroom.
