(KAIR)--A Wamego motorcyclist, riding through Atchison County Wednesday afternoon, required hospital care after losing control of his Harley Davidson and crashing.
Atchison County Undersheriff Toby Smith, in a release, says 76-year-old James Mueller was northbound on U.S. Highway 159 "when he failed to negotiate the turn at 159 and Graham Road."
In his attempt to regain control, Mueller, the release says, locked his rear brakes and lost control of the motorcycle at the intersection, causing the Harley to fall on its left side and skid across the highway.
Mueller, who was wearing a helmet when the crash happened, sustained injuries, Smith says, "to his left shoulder, arm, and mid-section."
Mueller was transported for hospital treatment at Amberwell Atchison.
The crash happened around 3:30 Wednesday afternoon.
