A Union Gap man is in fair condition at a Yakima hospital after crashing his motorcycle near Naches on Monday afternoon.

Jesus F.

Gutierrez’s motorcycle left the road, the statement said, and was totalled in the crash.

Gutierrez was taken to Virginia Mason Memorial hospital, where he was being treated as of Monday evening. Troopers said he was wearing a helmet and intoxicants were not a factor.

It is the second motorcycle crash near Naches this weekend. Theodore J. Eidsmoe, 49, of Naches was killed Saturday evening when his motorcycle crashed into a railing at 2462 Nile Road, approximately 15 miles west of Naches.
