(KAIR)--A Monday morning motorcycle crash sends an Atchison man to the hospital.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News it happened in the 1100 block of South 4th Street.

It was in that location that 33-year-old Jeffery Bowen lost control of the motorcycle he was riding, and was ejected.

Wilson says Bowen was transported from the scene by EMS for hospitalized treatment of unspecified injuries.

The wreck happened shortly after 10:00.

It was the second motorcycle wreck to happen in Atchison in less than a week.

Wilson says another occurred Saturday morning, although injuries in that incident did not lead to hospital care.

He says it happened when the Thoroughbred Stallion trike-styled motorcycle was being ridden eastbound in the 1400 block of U.S. Highway 59, by Saint Joseph, Missouri resident Robert Summers.

Another eastbound vehicle, driven by Afton, Iowa resident James Coady, changed lanes, causing Summers to hit the curb, partially ejecting his 59-year-old female passenger.

Although she suffered minor injuries, Wilson says she refused medical treatment.

Coady was cited for failure to yield.

The two vehicles never made contact with each other when the accident happened shortly after 7:30.
