A motorcyclist was injured after being hit by an SUV last night on Bartholomew County Road 450N and Talley Road.

Deputies say that 30-year-old Roy Wasson of Hope was driving the bike east on 450N at 9:16 p.m. Tuesday night when an SUV driven by 66-year-old James Meil of Cleveland Heights, Ohio turned in front of him onto Talley Road. Meil told authorities that he did not see the motorcycle, according to police reports.

Wasson was flown to an Indianapolis hospital with injuries to his hand and leg. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and was conscious and alert when deputies arrived.

Meil and a passenger were uninjured.
