A motorcyclist was injured in a two-vehicle accident late Thursday afternoon in central Salina.

Tyler Paulson, 35, of Salina, was southbound on Quincy Street in a 2008 Ford F150. Paulson stopped at the stop sign before turning left, but failed to see an eastbound 2004 Harley-Davidson Sportster driven by Dennis Marlow, 59, of Salina, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester. The pickup struck the motorcycle.

Marlow received scrapes on his left arm, back, and left leg, however he was not transported to the hospital, Forrester said.

The motorcycle sustained rear-end damage and the pickup sustained front-end damage, but was able to be driven away.

Forrester said Paulson was cited for failure to yield the right-of-way.
