A motorcyclist is recovering following an accident in Western, New York last night.

In a written release the Oneida County Sheriff's Office says that 25-year-old Aaron Michik of Lee Center was driving his "...motorcycle eastbound on Buck Hill Road when he came across some uneven pavement.  Michik lost control of his motorcycle and went off the roadway into the ditch.  Michik was able to flag down another passing motorist who stopped to help and called 911."

Michik, who received a road rash and a puncture wound to his leg, was being treated at a nearby hospital.
