(KLZA)-- A Falls City man escaped serious injury Monday afternoon when his motorcycle was struck by a car.
Falls City Police say 45-year-old Lonnie Blevins was eastbound on Highway 159, riding a three-wheel motorcycle, when he slowed to make a right turn onto 652 Avenue and his motorcycle was struck from behind by a vehicle driven by 17-year-old John Winters, of Rulo.
Winters told the investigating officer that he looked down for just a second and when he looked up, he saw the motorcycle and was unable to avoid the collision.
Blevins sustained a possible back injury, but did not seek medical attention at the time of the wreck. Winters was issued a citation.
