Chester Salisbury Critically Injured In Lexington Crash

56 year old Chester Salisbury was critically injured Saturday when his motorcycle collided with a truck near downtown Lexington.

Police are reporting that Salisbury was headed east on Fourth Street. When he entered the intersection with Broadway, Rafael Zuniga, driving a truck headed west on Fourth Street, made a sudden turn into Salisbury's path. Salisbury reportedly was unable to avoid Zuniga's truck and crashed into it.

Zuniga and his passeneger were treated and released from UK hospital. Salisbury underwent surgery on Sunday and at last check is in critical condition.

Vanessa Cantley, attorney and partner at Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones PLC comments: "It appears Mr. Zuniga may have been negligent when he made a sudden turn in front of Mr. Salisbury, causing him to crash his motorcycle. If reports of this wreck are accurate, Mr. Zuniga will be legally liable to Mr. Salisbury and his family for his injuries."
