SAPPHO — A 14-year-old boy was recovering at a Seattle hospital Wednesday morning after being injured in a motorcycle wreck near his home.
Jacob T. Hull, of Sappho, was in satisfactory condition at Harborview Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman said Wednesday.
According to a State Patrol report, Hull was riding a red Honda XR100R dirt bike type motorcycle at about 6 p.m. Tuesday and attempted to cross U.S. Highway 101 from south to north about a mile east of Sappho.
As Hull crossed the highway, he was struck by a westbound 2009 Hyundai Elantra, driven by Carolyn S. Brandis, 64, of Forks.
Hull received unspecified injuries and was transported by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Brandis was not injured in the wreck.
Hull was wearing a helmet, the State Patrol report said.
Neither drugs nor alcohol were thought to be a factor in the wreck, the report said.
The cause of the wreck remained under investigation and charges against Hull are pending.
