Motorcyclist hospitalized after crash

A 65-year-old man took a curve too fast, crashed his motorcycle on state Highway 20 and was airlifted to a Spokane hospital Wednesday afternoon, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Gunter Keess, of Hondo, Alberta, may have broken both his legs, said Trooper Mark Baker.

Keess was listed in satisfactory condition at Deaconess Medical Center late Thursday.

Keess was driving his 2002 BMW motorcycle east on Highway 20 when he failed to negotiate a left-hand turn, according to a WSP report.

He veered off the highway and totaled the motorcycle.

He was wearing a helmet.
