CLARKSTON, WA — Asotin County Fire District #1 rescue crews responded to a motorcycle crash early Saturday morning along Fleshman Way.

Fire District personnel and Lewiston medics were dispatched just after 7:00 a.m., where they discovered the motorcycle and its rider in the parking lot of a boat repair shop off 16th Avenue.

Initial reports indicate the motorcycle had been traveling eastbound on Fleshman Way when it left the roadway during the night, cleared a six-foot chain-link fence, and came to rest in the parking lot.

The rider remained there for several hours before being spotted by passersby shortly after daylight.

The rider, identified as a Lewiston man, was transported to a local hospital with what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries.

The Asotin County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident.

Preliminary findings suggest that speed may have been a contributing factor. No other injuries were reported, though one vehicle in the parking lot sustained minor damage.
