Motorcyclist injured in accident south of Clinton Lake

A Topeka man suffered minor injuries and was taken by ambulance late Thursday afternoon to Lawrence Memorial Hospital following a motorcycle accident near Lone Star in southwestern Douglas County.

Bret Shaw, 43, was driving east on Douglas County Route 458 (also North 950 Road) when he lost control of the motorcycle, Douglas County Sheriff’s Sgt. Steve Lewis said.

Shaw was riding with a friend who was on a second motorcycle when the accident occurred, Lewis said.

“He and a friend were riding their Harleys, and Bret lost control when he turned south,” Lewis said.
