Hays Police Department Lt. Ron Rounkles told Hays Post, “A 19 year old man was driving a motorcycle north bound in the right lane of 1700 block of Vine Street just after 12 noon. He swerved to avoid a northbound pickup  in the left lane, driven by a 32-year old man.

The motorcycle slid an undetermined distance. A preliminary investigation indicated the motorcycle rider was not wearing a helmet. His motorcycle was heavily damaged.  He was transported to Hays Medical Center. There is no indication of impairment of either vehicle operator at this point in the investigation, which remains active. Anyone who may have witnessed the accident  or might have any information is encouraged to contact Hays Police.”
