Juan Monreal-Esparza, 22, was riding his motorcycle south on Ninth Street near Cloud Street when a 2011 Ford Edge, driven by McKenzie Cramer, 21, of Salina, crossed Cloud Street and struck Esparza.
"Esparza was transported to Salina Regional Health Center with severe facial and hand injuries and was then transported to in Wichita," McCary said. "According to his family and those close to him say he has a long road to recovery."
McCary said Cramer did not sustain injuries as a result of the accident.
