Pedestrian injured
in accident
PUTNAM — A pedestrian was insured after being hit by a motorcycle June 22 in Union Square, according to Putnam Police Chief Christopher Ferace.
Ferace said an inexperienced motorcycle operator was traveling east on Union Street when he lost control of the motorcycle and hit a pedestrian in the parking lot of Union Square. The motorcycle hit two unoccupied parked vehicles in the lot. The pedestrian was treated at the scene and taken to Day Kimball Hospital by Putnam EMS for a leg injury.
The operator of the motorcycle, Aboyowa S. Rone, 23, of 20 Athol St. Danielson, sustained very minor injuries and was not transported for medical attention. Rone was issued an infraction for unsafe movement from a stopped position and operating without a motorcycle license endorsement. The motorcycle was towed from the scene. Putnam Police and Putnam EMS both responded to the scene.
