According to the patrol:
Matthew J. Slames was driving a 2008 Subaru Impreza south on Interstate 5, a mile south of Chehalis. He made an abrupt lane change in front of the 2008 Yamaha driven by Nicholas Bartley, 41, of Ethel, then braked hard, causing Bartley to rear-end him.
Bartley suffered lacerations to his arms, fingers and knees and was taken to Providence Centralia Hospital. His motorcycle sustained $4,000 in damage; Slames’ vehicle sustained $1,000 in damage.
