(Creston, IA) – A motorcycle crash Saturday afternoon in Creston resulted two people injured and the operator of the motorcycle cited. According to the Creston Police Department, an investigation determined 22-year-old Wyatt Bryce Beebe, of Creston, was riding a 2008 Kawasaki motorcycle northbound in the 600 block of  N. Lincoln Street at around 3:15-p.m., Saturday, when a friend of his, who was operating another motorcycle in front of Beebe, slowed down abruptly, causing Beebe to lose control of his motorcycle, and lay it on its side. The Kawasaki slid about 270-feet on its side and crashed through a PVC fence coming to rest.

Creston Police say Beebe’s friends then helped push his motorcycle from the scene and hide it in Beebe’s garage. Initially, the accident was near 1101 W. Spencer Street, where officers found  a female and a male with injuries. The woman was transported by Medic 1 ambulance to the Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston. Her name was not included in the report. The male – identified as Wyatt Beebe – suffered significant “road rash,” on each arm.

The report stated Beebe and two friends attempted to mislead officers in their investigation, by first saying it was an ATV accident, and claiming other people who they did not know, picked-up the ATV from the scene. Beebe eventually admitted to officers that it was in-fact a motorcycle accident, and that they hid the motorcycle in the garage of his residence.

Police cited Wyatt Beebe for: Careless Driving; Operating a non-registered vehicle; No Valid Driver’s License, and Failure to provide proof of financial liability (insurance) – accident related. Damage to the motorcycle was estimated at $3,000. Damage to the PVC fence, owned by Robert Vogel, of Creston, was estimated at $2,000.
