PORT ANGELES — A California motorcyclist and his passenger were taken to Olympic Medical Center after they were struck Wednesday by a car on state Highway 112 at Camp Hayden Road.

The State Patrol said Drew Bernard, 59, and Lynn Anne Bernard, 58, both of San Jacinto, Calif., were hurt when their 2008 Harley-Davidson was struck by a 1994 Ford Aspire driven by Scott E. Vess, 25, of Port Angeles.

The Bernards were wearing helmets. The motorcycle was destroyed.

Drew Bernard, the driver, was treated and discharged from OMC. Lynn Bernard was listed Thursday in satisfactory condition.

Vess was uninjured, and his auto was driven from the scene of the wreck that happened at 6:35 p.m. 9 miles west of Port Angeles.

The patrol said Vess had been stopped westbound on the highway, then turned left into the eastbound lane and struck the motorcycle.

Vess was cited for second-degree negligent driving.
