CLE ELUM, Wash. — A Lake Tapps, Wash., man was critically injured in a two-motorcycle crash west of Cle Elum late Saturday, Kittitas County sheriff’s deputies said.

Brandon Robbins, 25, was being treated at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He was not wearing a helmet, Undersheriff Clayton Myers said in a news release.

The other operator, 57-year-old Issaquah resident Richard Duane Barry, suffered a broken leg. He was also being treated at Harborview, where Myers described him as being in stable condition.

Barry was riding a custom chopper westbound in the 6600 block of Westside Road when he collided head-on with Robbins, who was eastbound on a dirt bike, Myers said.
