Bucoda woman hurt when Lacey man crashes motorcycle near Tenino

A passenger on a motorcycle was injured Friday night when the bike crashed south of Tenino, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The 32-year-old Bucoda woman was taken to Providence Centralia Hospital after the wreck, troopers say.

About 7:30 p.m. Friday, the 40-year-old Lacey motorcycle driver and the Bucoda passenger were headed south on state Route 507, just south of Tenino, when troopers say the motorcycle “failed to negotiate a curve and came to rest in the grass on the right shoulder.”

The driver faces a possible charge of driving under the influence and vehicular assault, according to the State Patrol.
