Motorcyclists injured

Two motorcyclists were injured at the junction of Highways 20 and 126 at the east end of Sisters on June 18 when a driver pulled in front of them and their 1997 Harley Davidson slammed into the side of a 1993 Geo Prizm.

The wreck occurred at about 10 a.m. According to the Deschutes County Sheriff's Department, the driver of the Geo, Stanley Earl Houck, 41, of Eugene, was cited for a dangerous left turn.

Houck allegedly was eastbound and was turning onto Highway 126 from Highway 20, "without giving sufficient clearance to the motorcycle," according to police reports.

The Harley crashed into the right side of Houck's car. When police arrived, cycle driver Stephen Daniel Hoyt, 46, of Longview Washington and passenger Priscilla K. Hoyt, 46, were lying next to their motorcycle being treated by bystanders.

The Hoyts were taken to St. Charles Medical Center. Stephen Hoyt suffered back and hip injuries; Priscilla Hoyt suffered pelvis, shoulder, elbow and knee injuries.

Both were treated and released. Both vehicles were taken to Davis Towing lot in Sisters. The highway was closed for approximately one hour.
