BARTON — A 73-year-old man was injured during a motorcycle crash in Barton this afternoon.
The incident took place on Willoughby Avenue, near Center Road, at around 12:30 p.m.
The operator of the motorcycle, identified as David Clancy, or Marlow, NH, failed to navigate a corner safely and collided with the guardrail.
