A man from Las Vegas suffered serious injuries when a tractor-trailer hit him motorcycle Thursday afternoon.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the 63-year-old was riding his Harley-Davidson Roadking near the 185 mile marker in Montgomery County when the crash happened at about 1:45 p.m. A truck driven by a 59-year-old Illinois man rear-ended the motorcycle as the bike was slowing for an emergency vehicle ahead, the patrol report states.
The motorcycle rider was taken by ambulance to St. Joseph Hospital in Lake St. Louis with serious injuries. He was wearing a helmet, the report states.
The truck driver was not injured.
