One person was airlifted to a hospital after a motorcycle collided with a car at milepost 2 on state Highway 112 east of Neah Bay.
Eduard A. Kononov, 24, of Algona was riding his black 2007 GSX-R600 motorcycle eastbound at milepost 1.5 about 8:20 p.m. Sunday when he lost control a tight curve to the right and struck a white 2007 Chevy Express passenger van driven by Colin W.
