Emergency personnel were called to the scene at 608 E. Pancake Blvd. shortly before 3 p.m. Tuesday, according to a release from the Liberal Police Department.
“At approximately 2:57 p.m. Tuesday, officers and emergency personnel responded to a reported injury accident involving a motorcycle and a vehicle in the 500 block of East Pancake Boulevard,” the LPD release noted. “Upon arrival, officers found a male victim lying on the ground near the curb at Jewell Ave and Pancake Blvd. The individual was conscious but sustained injuries to his mouth and head. Through the investigation, officers determined that a maroon 2024 Dodge Charger entered Pancake Blvd from Yellow Brick Rd, failing to yield to the motorcycle.”
