One person was hospitalized Friday after a wreck involving a pickup and motorcycle in north Lyon County.
Lyon County deputies were paged out to First and Maple in Americus around 8:15 p.m. An investigation revealed that 66-year-old Tom Ayers had been driving his Harley-Davidson motorcycle southbound when he collided with a pickup truck, driven by 18-year-old Samuel Russell of Americus at the intersection. The truck was attempting to make a westbound turn.
Ayers was transported to Newman Regional Health by ambulance, with non-life-threatening injuries. Russell was not injured and was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.
