A Butler woman was rushed by ambulance to the hospital around 7 p.m. Wednesday night after she was struck while riding her motorcycle on West Cunningham Street near its intersection with West Jefferson Street.

Witnesses to the accident and its aftermath said the woman's injuries looked serious.

Butler City Police are investigating the accident. The crash involved three more vehicles, a Jeep, an SUV and a sedan. Police were assisted at the scene by Butler City Fire Department.

Multiple witnesses said the motorcyclist was the only person to be injured in the crash, but details varied on how the accident occurred.

Police could not offer more details on the crash at the time, but said they will have more information later.

The intersection is surrounded by multiple businesses and was closed for about an hour until authorities cleared the scene.

A man was taken away from the scene in handcuffs, but the reasons were unrelated to the crash, according to the police.
