A Texas man was seriously injured Saturday after being ejected from his motorcycle in Franklin County.

According to State Police, 42 year old Joshua Hall was travelling northbound on Interstate 57 when the traffic in front of him suddenly slowed down.

Hall, unable to reduce his speed in time, steered away from the vehicles in front of him, losing control of his motorcycle.

The accident closed the left lane of northbound I-57 for about 30 minutes.
