A 34-year-old Belleville man was injured in a motocross accident Sunday afternoon on private property in the 3000 block of Farthing Road south of Odin.
Odin Fire Chief Greg Smith says Joshua Wagner was apparently traveling at too low of speed and after topping one hill failed to make a second hill causing the front wheel to hit the dirt. The impact threw him off the cycle.
An Air Evac Helicopter was called to the scene to take Wagner to a St. Louis Hospital for treatment. Odin Fire and United Medical Response both assisted in the landing of the helicopter.
Smith says Wagner was released from the hospital later on Sunday night.
