WEST BRUNSWICK TOWNSHIP - A Dornsife couple were transported to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown Friday afternoon after being ejected from their motorcycle during an accident at the intersection of Brick Hill Road and Route 61 in this Schuylkill County township.
State police at Schuylkill Haven reported Dale A. Williard, 50, and his 49-year-old wife, Lisa R. Williard, suffered moderate injuries in the 1:45 p.m. two-vehicle crash. Mr. Williard, who was operating a 1982 Honda CX500 motorcycle, was transported by ambulance to Lehigh Valley Hospital, while his wife was flown by Medevac helicopter to the same medical facility.
The Williards were listed in stable condition Saturday afternoon, according to a hospital spokesman.
Daniel P. Moffett, 23, of Auburn, who was driving a 1996 Saturn involved in the collision, escaped injury.
Police said Moffett was negotiating a left turn from Brick Hill Road onto Route 61 south when he pulled out in front of the motorcycle traveling north on Route 61. Police said the motorcycle struck the left front side panel of the Saturn, which came to rest at the point of impact facing west.
Dale Williard was ejected approximately 10 feet from the collision and his wife was ejected approximately 20 feet from the point of impact into the left northbound lane of Route 61.
Police said Moffett will be cited for failing to properly turn left.
Assisting state police and Medevac personnel at the scene were firefighters and emergency personnel from Orwigsburg, Schuylkill Haven, Pottsville and Deer Lake, and PennDOT employees.
