(KAIR)--A Newton, Kansas man, riding through Atchison Saturday night aboard a Kawasaki motorcycle, required hospital treatment after crashing in the construction zone in the 1000 block of U.S. Highway 59.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 53-Anthony Groote was westbound on the highway when he entered the construction zone west of 10th Street.

It was at that location, shortly after 9:00 Saturday night, that Groote's motorcycle struck a flashing arrow device, causing him to be ejected, which led to his injuries.

According to Wilson, Groote was transported by Atchison County EMS for treatment at Mosaic Lifecare in St. Joseph, Missouri.
