PORT TOWNSEND — A woman who hit a motorcycle on state Highway 19 on Tuesday has been cited for speed too fast for conditions, the State Patrol said.
Two motorcyclists were treated and discharged from Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after they were airlifted there following a Tuesday afternoon wreck on state Highway 19.
Mark A. Throop, 41, of Sequim and Robin Y. Tweter, 56, of Port Angeles were airlifted to Harborview after the 3:22 p.m. wreck.
The two, who were riding a 2003 Harley-Davidson, had stopped on state Highway 19 to turn left onto Anderson Lake Road when a car hit them from behind, the State Patrol said.
The driver of the 2012 Honda Civic, Lucinda R. Hall, 54, of Port Townsend, was not hurt, the State Patrol said.
Hall, who told troopers she did not see the motorcycle, was cited.
Harborview personnel did not respond to repeated calls asking for Throop’s and Tweter’s conditions.
The motorcyclists’ injuries from the wreck did not appear to be life-threatening, according to Bill Beezley, East Jefferson Fire-Rescue spokesman, who said they were taken to Harborview as a precaution.
Both motorcyclists were wearing helmets.
Beezley said Throop, who had recently had neck surgery, complained of back pain, while Tweter said she felt dizzy.
Both vehicles were towed from the scene of the wreck.
