A 23-year-old motorcyclist from Lawrence, William M. Sherrill, was flown to a Kansas City-area hospital by helicopter Thursday morning after colliding with a car at 19th and Kentucky streets.

Sherrill was treated and released at University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan.

He was going west on 19th Street about 7:30 a.m. when he collided with a Dodge Stratus driven by a 27-year-old Lawrence woman, Jocelyn Komiya. She was eastbound on 19th Street and tried to turn north onto Kentucky but didn’t see Sherrill because the sun obscured her vision, police said. Police have not released details of the wreck, including if Sherrill was wearing a helmet.
