A 21-year-old Warrensburg man suffered moderate injuries after his motorcycle crashed on Route BB in Johnson County on Monday, Oct. 12.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the incident occurred at approximately 6 p.m. when the rider was traveling northbound on a Suzuki motorcycle about eight miles southwest of Warrensburg. The driver reportedly failed to navigate a curve, causing the motorcycle to leave the roadway and strike a fence, which ejected him from the bike.
