Washington Co., Mo. (KFMO) - A 21-year-old Park Hills man was seriously injured Friday night in a motorcycle crash along Missouri Route 8 in Washington County.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash happened around 9:46 p.m. on westbound Missouri 8 at Husley Road. Troopers say the man was riding a 2025 Harley Davidson FXBB when he began passing several vehicles, including one on the right shoulder. He then reportedly crossed into the eastbound lane to pass another car and lost control as he returned to the westbound lane. The motorcycle went off the right side of the road, began to slide, and overturned, ejecting the rider. He was not wearing a helmet, according to the crash report, and was transported by ambulance to Mercy Hospital South with serious injuries.

The motorcycle was totaled and towed from the scene.
