Stanley Schell and Wesley Kincaid both of Soap Lake, were taken to Mason City hospital Sunday after an accident involving three cars and a motorcycle at Blue Lake. Kincaid, operator of the motorcycle on which the two injured men were riding, suffered severe head and facial lacerations.
Hospital attendants said that both men had probable minor fractures of fingers and ribs, and were suffering from shock.
According to B. R. Rubens, Seattle, the accident occurred on a curve where a car was parked on the pavement. Rubens told state patrolmen that he was following another car, and the motorcycle was third in line.
As the cars came around the turn, a woman stepped from the parked car and tried to flag traffic. The car ahead of Rubens swerved and plunged from the highway in an effort to avoid hitting the parked car and the woman.
Rubens managed to bring his car to a halt on the roadway, but the motorcycle was unable to stop and crashed into the rear of the Rubens machine, throwing the two to the road.
None of the occupants of the ditched car was injured, and the name of the woman driving the parked car was not learned. No one was held.
