One injured when motorcycle, van collide at Lake Crescent

LAKE CRESCENT — A motorcyclist was injured on the north shore of Lake Crescent on Saturday evening after losing control and being struck by a van on East Beach Road.

Clallam County Fire District No. 2 responded to the wreck involving a motorcycle and a Dodge van in the 300 block of East Beach Road, Mike DeRousie, assistant chief for the fire district, said in a statement Sunday.

At 6:33 p.m. Saturday, a person driving a Suzuki motorcycle eastbound on East Beach Road was riding close to the center of the road near a corner, DeRousie said.

A 1988 Dodge van was traveling west on East Beach Road.

When the motorcyclist applied the brakes, the back wheel slid and collided with the Dodge van, causing the motorcyclist to go down.

Neither the name of the motorcyclist nor the van driver were immediately available Sunday from Olympic National Park or the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office.

The motorcyclist was transported to Olympic Medical Center for non-life threatening injuries, DeRousie said.

It was not known if there was a citation issued due to the wreck.
