A 68-year-old Bellevue man injured in a motorcycle accident Wednesday morning in southern Hailey was listed in serious condition Thursday at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise.

Gary Carlson was initially transported by Wood River Fire & Rescue ambulance to St. Luke's Wood River Medical Center following the accident at about 8:45 a.m. on state Highway 75, south of its intersection with Fox Acres Road. He was flown by emergency helicopter from St. Luke's to Boise.

Wood River Fire & Rescue reported that Carlson suffered back and pelvis injuries.

Hailey Assistant Police Chief Dave Stellers said traffic was "bumper to bumper and stop and go" because of construction on the highway near Fox Acres Road when the accident occurred. Stellers said Carlson was northbound on a Suzuki motorcycle when he was unable to stop and collided with a trailer being pulled by a white Ford pickup driven by Wesley Price, 31, of Bellevue.

No citations were issued.

Highway traffic was diverted to Woodside Boulevard for about 30 minutes between Fox Acres Road and Countryside Boulevard.
