A husband and wife who were seriously injured Saturday morning in Coupeville when their motorcycle was struck by another vehicle are still in serious condition.

Both Gary Hoyt, 66, and Linda Hoyt, 65, are in the intensive care unit at Harborview Medical Center and Hospital, said spokeswoman Susan Gregg on Monday.

The pair were airlifted after their motorcycle was struck on State Highway 20 near Broadway Street and pushed into a third vehicle, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The accident occurred around 8:43 a.m.

A 1998 Pontiac Bonneville driven by a 16-year-old Oak Harbor girl was traveling southbound on Highway 20, approaching Northwest Broadway, attempted to turn left onto Broadway, and struck the motorcycle on which the Hoyts were riding, according to a State Patrol report. The Hoyts’ motorcycle was pushed by the Bonneville into a 1993 Mercury Sable being driven by Billy J. Regan, 73, of Coupeville.

The girl driving the Bonneville was not injured.

She was later cited for failing to yield a rite of way, according to Trooper Mark Francis.

The Pontiac Bonneville and the Hoyts’ motorcycle — a 2012 Can Am Spyder — were totaled and impounded. Both vehicles were taken to Christianson’s Towing, according to the State Patrol.

Regan was not injured and his car was driven away from the accident scene.
