Saturday’ sunshine brought out multitudes of motorcycle riders, and one of them crashed in Glenoma when his bike slid into a ditch and struck a culvert.
James K. Nelson, 39, of Glenoma, was thrown about 20 feet and his Kawasaki KX250 went airborne, according to the area’s fire chief and the Washington State Patrol.
Nelson was taken by aid car to Morton General Hospital with back pain after the approximately 2:20 p.m. wreck, according to authorities.
He was reportedly not wearing a helmet.
“He was very lucky,” said Chief Ed Lowe of Lewis County Fire District 18.
It happened on the 100 block of Martin Road as Nelson attempted to negotiate a curve to the left, according to the state patrol. The responding trooper estimated about $500 damage to the 2009 off-road motorcycle.
The state patrol reported Nelson was to be cited for no helmet, no motorcycle endorsement and operating an off-road vehicle on a road. Information about his condition was not available from the hospital this morning.

Writing is tough! Critics are tougher! Don’t give up – just get better!
I took a peek at Kandy’s website, too, and thought I surely must be on the wrong page, because I couldn’t believe that someone would
post with such bad grammar on such trivial subjects and then ask for an honest opinion. But keep trying, Kandy. Read the items out loud to yourself before you post; if it sounds awkward, keep re-writing. Sharyn is an award winning journalist, and this is not her first go-round with writing articles.
I apologize for being so brutally blunt, due to the fact I am a Sagittarius but… Kandy, I read your blog and I feel compelled to be truthful to you now. You need to invest in an English 101 course ASAP or nobody will ever take you seriously as a writer. I may have been a high school dropout and therefore not the best writer… but I know poor grammar skills when I see them and girl, you need some help.
I think a lot of people appreciate what Sharyn does here. Look at the number of comments this site gets and then check out the Chronicle’s site, where NOBODY comments on stories. Things sometimes get out of hand among those replying, but that’s a byproduct of lively debate and still preferable to no response at all.
After exploring a few of the blog articles on your web page, I really appreciate your way of blogging.
I book marked it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back in the near future.
Please check out my web site as well and tell me what you think.
