A Bucyrus man was seriously injured Saturday afternoon in a motorcycle crash north of Dogs Bluff, the Missouri State Highway Patrol said.
Larry M. Wade, 54, was operating a northbound 2011 Harley Davidson Roadglide that traveled off the right side of the roadway and overturned, ejecting him at about 3:40 p.m.
Wade was initially taken by ambulance to Texas County Memorial Hospital because an air ambulance was unavailable due to weather conditions. A chopper later landed at Houston Memorial Airport.
Sgt. Dale Pounds said the motorcycle was totaled in the accident about four miles northwest of Houston. Assisting at the scene were Cpl. Curtis Haden, Tpr. Jacob Sellars and Houston Rural Fire Association Rescue Squad.
