A 55-year-old Masterton man has been taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg after crashing his motorcycle near the town yesterday.
Sergeant Chris Megaw said the man lost control of his Buell road bike as he travelled over a level rail crossing on Opaki Kaiparoro Rd just after noon yesterday.
The man had been thrown from his machine and into a ditch, Mr Megaw said.
His daughter, who was following on another motorcycle, was not involved in the crash.
Mr Megaw said the man was in considerable pain and was taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg.
