Motorcyclist in critical condition after losing control on U.S. 24-40

A 74-year-old Parker man, who was injured Thursday morning in a motorcycle accident south of Tonganoxie on U.S. Highway 24-40, was in critical condition late Friday at Kansas University Hospital. Eldon L. Barrett apparently lost control of his 2000 Honda Shadow on a curve and the motorcycle went into a ditch and then into a field.
