A 14-year-old boy was injured Monday when his motorcycle was struck by a vehicle in McCracken County.

According to the McCracken County Sheriff's Office, the accident happened around 5:15 pm in the 7000 block of Metropolis Lake Road. Thirty-eight-year-old Adam Davis, of Benton, told deputies he saw two children standing near the road in a driveway to his right and began to slow his vehicle before passing.

Just prior to passing the children, Davis said he saw a small motorcycle exiting the woods to his left and enter the roadway. Davis attempted to avoid striking the motorcycle, but could not.

The motorcycle was being operated by 14-year-old Andrew Oswald, of West Paducah. Deputies said Oswald had been on a dirt trail just off the roadway and attempted to cross Metropolis Lake Road, when he pulled into the path of Davis' vehicle.

Oswald was ejected from the motorcycle. Police said he was not wearing a helmet at the time of the collision. Oswald was taken to Baptist Health Paducah for treatment of his injuries.
