A Bonney Lake motorcyclist was taken to an area hospital after a wreck in south Pierce County Saturday afternoon, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The crash also involved a 25-year-old Puyallup man who was not hurt.

About 4:10 p.m., the 38-year-old motorcyclist was headed south on Kinsman Road, approaching state Route 702 in south Pierce County. That highway runs between Yelm and state Route 7.

Troopers say the Bonney Lake man failed to yield at a stop sign, then was ejected from his bike and struck by the eastbound Puyallup driver.

The motorcyclist was hurt and taken to St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma.

State Route 702 was partially blocked for early three hours, according to State Patrol.
