A St. Louis man was taken to an area hospital for treatment after he was injured the afternoon of Sept. 18 in a motorcycle accident in Hillsboro, said Chief Steve Meinberg of the Hillsboro Police Department.
The accident occurred at about 12:35 p.m. when Nicholas Linze, 42, of St. Louis lost control of the 2012 Harley-Davidson motorcycle he was riding east on Hwy. B near Hwy. 21.
“He suffered injuries to his face, shoulders, arms and legs,” Meinberg said. “He was not wearing a helmet.”
Meinberg said Linze was transported by Valle Ambulance to Mercy Hospital South in St. Louis County. He was treated and released, a hospital spokesman said.
Meinberg said the motorcycle was damaged in the accident.
