Confusion about a new stoplight on Clinton Parkway led to a motorcycle-car accident that injured one man this morning, according to Lawrence Police.

The new stoplight is at the intersection of Crestline Drive, just south of a new parking lot being built on Kansas University’s west campus next to Shenk Recreational Sports Complex fields.

As the light is being installed and tested, it is currently flashing yellow for east and west traffic and flashing red for north and south traffic.

Drivers may proceed with caution through a yellow flashing light.

However, shortly before 11 a.m. today, a white car traveling east on Clinton Parkway stopped at the flashing yellow, said Kim Murphree, a police spokesperson.

A man driving a motorcycle who was behind the car, hit the rear driver’s side of the car, Murphree said.

The motorcyclist, who has not yet been identified, was taken by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Murphree said. His condition was not known this afternoon.

None of the three people in the car were injured, she said.

The driver of the car told police that another car in front of it had also stopped, Murphree said.
