A motorcyclist was injured Sunday afternoon in an accident in Lakewood Park.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning that Kimber Hilbert, 18, of Salina, was riding northbound through the park at approximately 3:15 p.m. Sunday when he lost control of his 2016 motorcycle and crashed.

According to Forrester, witness said two motorcycles were racing through the park when Hilbert lost control, went over the handle bars of the motorcycle, and struck the guard rail.

Hilbert suffered multiple abrasions and a laceration on the right side of his head and broke his left arm, Forrester noted. The motorcycle had disabling damage and had to be towed from the scene, he reported.
