A motorcyclist was taken to the hospital after he was thrown from his bike during a crash west of Lansing, according to an official with the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office.
The crash was reported at 3:47 p.m. Saturday on Tonganoxie Drive north of 171st Street.
Investigators believe a 19-year-old Leavenworth man was traveling north on a 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250 motorcycle when he veered off the roadway to avoid colliding with another vehicle.
The motorcycle went into a ditch and struck a driveway culvert. The man was thrown from the motorcycle. One of the wheels of the motorcycle was sheared off, according to Leavenworth County Undersheriff Jim Sherley.
