A Salina man was injured Friday night in a single-vehicle motorcycle wreck.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning that shortly before 10 p.m. Friday, Seth Seed, 31, of Salina, was southbound in the 300 block of North Columbia Avenue on a 2011 Triumph motorcycle when he lost control of the motorcycle. A witness reported seeing the motorcycle traveling into a driveway, around a large tree, through the front yard, and onto the street before crashing, Forrester explained.

Seed had injuries to his face and back and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Forrester reported. The motorcycle had damage to the handlebars and body on the right side, he added.

Speed and alcohol are believed to be contributing factors to the crash, which remains under investigation, Forrester noted.
