A motorcycle accident on Watch Lake Road on Aug. 17 sent two people to 100 Mile District General Hospital.
Watch Lake/North Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department Chief Andy Palaniak says the call came in around 5:45 p.m. Friday, and a first responder was in the area and on scene quickly.
He explains the motorcycle operator had a passenger and was pulling a trailer when he lost control in some loose gravel on the roadway near the Watch Lake refuse site.
In order to avoid a collision with another vehicle, Palaniak notes the operator steered the motorcycle into the ditch and crashed.
Several other fire department members also attended and controlled traffic while first responders stabilized the victims and awaited arrival of BC Ambulance Service personnel.
The extent of their injuries is not known, but the fire chief notes both riders were conscious at the time when they were transported to hospital.
