A Lexington, Illinois man was injured in a motorcycle crash south of the Watson Y Sunday morning.

The crash happened just after 6:30am on US Route 45, a short distance north of 650th Avenue. 

Effingham County Sheriff's Department reports a cycle operated by 61-year-old Robert Williams of Lexington struck a deer on the highway, causing the cycle to veer off the road to the right. The cycle traveled through the ditch, ejecting Williams. The cycle traveled across a hay field and struck a round bale in the field.

Williams was taken for treatment to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham.

There were no citations issued.
