JOYCE — A motorcyclist was cited for speeding after he was hurt last weekend when he failed to make a turn on state Highway 112.
Michael T. Smith, 44, of Houston, Texas, was traveling westbound on state Highway 112 at Milepost 31, between Joyce and Clallam Bay, when he lost control of his motorcycle on a curve, said Trooper Jennifer Stepp, State Police spokeswoman.
The motorcycle slid for 25 feet before it collided with a guardrail support post, Stepp said.
Smith slid under the guardrail and stopped about 8 feet from the guardrail on the shoulder of the road.
He was transported to Olympic Medical Center, where he was not listed as a patient Tuesday.
The crash was caused by speeding, Stepp said.
The State Patrol cited Smith for “speed too fast for conditions,” according to a memo.
