49-year-old Gilles N Nicault injured after a motorcycle crash in Spokane (Spokane, WA)

49-year-old Gilles N Nicault received injuries after a motorcycle crash in Spokane over the holiday weekend.

Gilles N Nicault, 49, was the only person who was injured in the two-vehicle accident that happened at 3:15 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 4. On arrival, medics took the motorcycle rider to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane with unspecified injuries. As of Wednesday afternoon, his current condition remains unknown.

The preliminary investigation showed that the Walla Walla man was driving a 2015 KTM 1290 motorcycle while heading south on U.S. Highway 195 about a mile south of its intersection with Interstate 90. At that time, 58-year-old Timothy L Thompson, of Spokane, driving a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, entered the multi-lane road from the west in an attempt to turn into the northbound lanes of the highway.

Just then, Thompson’s Jeep went into the way of Nicault’s motorcycle, and the two crashed. Reports further said that Nicault was wearing a proper helmet. Nicault’s KTM was wrecked and towed from the scene, and Thompson’s vehicle also had reportable damage and had to be hauled away from the scene, too. Thompson remained unharmed in the accident. Police confirmed a citation to Thompson for failing to yield the right-of-way.

An investigation is continuing.
