An accident on Monark Drive at Missouri 86, two miles east of Neosho, resulted in injuries to a motorcycle rider from Neosho.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says 43-year-old Chrisopher M. Gilliam of Neosho was northbound when his 1996 Harley Davidson ran off the roadway on a curve, overturned and ejected the driver who was not wearing a helmet.

The Patrol says Gilliam was transported to a Joplin hospital suffering from moderate injuries.
