A Centralia man was airlifted to an Indiana hospital late on Saturday night, after he crashed his motorcycle along Route 161, at the southbound ramp of I-57. According to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, just before 10pm, 46-year-old Gerald Hine was riding his motorcycle west on Route 161, when he struck the raised center median at the exit and entrance ramp. The impact forced him from his motorcycle, which eventually came to a rest 300-feet west of where Hine was found. He was reportedly unconscious when emergency personnel arrived. He then got airlifted to Indiana, where he was sent to a hospital for treatment. Responding agencies to the scene included Kell firefighters, Marion County EMS and the Marion County Sheriff’s Department.
