Douglas County Sheriff Deputies, along with Douglas County Fire and Medical, work the scene of a motorcycle accident near the town of Clinton on County Road 6 around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. A female passenger was air lifted to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka.

Emergency crews responded to a two-person motorcycle accident about 2 p.m. today near the intersection of E550 Road and N1150 Road., which is on the west side of Clinton Lake near the town of Clinton.

Sgt. Steve Lewis of the Douglas County Sheriff’s office identified the driver of the motorcycle as Michael Martin, 41, and the passenger as Faith Martin, 42, both of Topeka.

Lewis said that Faith suffered a closed leg fracture and was transported by Life Star helicopter to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka. She was moved to a normal hospital bed later Wednesday. Lewis said Michael suffered only minor injuries. The motorcycle went off the road and into a ditch.
