PORT ANGELES — A motorcyclist died Saturday in a collision with a truck on U.S. Highway 101.
Kenneth R. Hyatt, 56, of Port Angeles, was found dead at the scene, the State Patrol said.
He was riding a blue Harley-Davidson motorcycle westbound on U.S. Highway 101 at about 2:50 p.m. when a 2001 Toyota truck that was turning left onto state Highway 112 hit the motorcycle.
The State Patrol attributed the wreck to the truck not yielding to the motorcycle, and said that charges are pending.
The driver of the truck, 67-year-old Paul R. McShane of Port Townsend, was treated at Olympic Medical Center for a head laceration and was discharged.
The truck’s passenger, Celia M. Marquis, 58, of Port Townsend, was treated at the hospital for minor injuries and was also discharged, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Both lanes of the highway were blocked until 3:21 p.m., when one lane was reopened to alternating traffic.
The roadway was cleared at 5:43 p.m.
