A Hays man sustained injuries while riding his motorcycle after a vehicle turned into his path on Nov. 16 in Hays.

According to Hays Police Lieutenant Brandon Wright, a 39-year-old motorcyclist sustained a leg and head injury in a collision with a gray 2005 GMC Envoy.

At 11:16 p.m. on Nov. 16, in the 1800 block of Vine Street, a 49-year-old woman from Victoria was in the southbound left-turn lane as the motorcyclist traveled northbound.

The female driver turned left into Wendy's when she crossed the path of the oncoming motorcycle, resulting in a collision.

Wright said the motorcyclist was transported to the hospital for treatment. He was not wearing a helmet.

The SUV driver was cited for failing to yield the right of way.
