Motorcyclist Arrested Following Chelan Crash

An alcohol-impaired man was injured in a crash that totaled his motorcycle after attempting to pass a car in Chelan on Saturday. According to the Washington State Patrol, 73-year-old Roderick Collins of Peshastin was driving on Highway 97at approximately 3:50 p.m. when he attempted to pass another vehicle, lost control and struck a tree.

“I wasn’t sure if he hit the rumble-strip and I saw him start to brake and wobble,” said Carnan Bergren, a friend of Collins’ who witnessed the crash. “Once he hit the shoulder, everything was in the air.”

According to authorities, the crash caused a compound fracture in Collins’ leg and he was treated at the scene before being transported to Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee. DUI charges are pending against Collins.
