FORKS — A motorcyclist and his passenger were injured in a two-vehicle wreck at the intersection of U.S. Highway 101 and state Highway 113 late Saturday.
According to the State Patrol, Clallam Bay resident Valerie A. Akuna, 23, was driving a black 1996 Mercedes C220 northbound on Highway 101 at 7:10 p.m.
Silverdale resident Grant. B. Hulsey, 31, riding a red 2002 Honda VTX motorcycle with passenger Jennifer D. Hulsey, 32, of Gig Harbor, was southbound on Highway 101 near the intersection with Highway 113.
Akuna turned left toward Highway 113 in front of the motorcycle and struck it.
Both Hulseys were injured and taken by ambulance to Forks Community Hospital.
Calls seeking conditions for the Hulseys were not immediately returned Sunday.
The State Patrol reported that both were wearing DOT compliant helmets.
Akuna was not injured in the wreck.
Highway 101 was partially blocked by the wreck for more than two hours, the State Patrol said.
The crash was caused by inattention on the part of Akuna, and charges against her are pending, the State Patrol said.
