Probably the first people in 60 years to be hit by a 1929 Mercedes.

Motorcyclists slow for deer, get hit near         Stevenson

Three people were injured Saturday in a collision on Highway 14       in 
Skamania County.
Mark E. Russell, 51, of Vancouver and Dannie Lee Huber, 59, of       Portland 
were riding motorcycles about one mile east of Stevenson       when they slowed 
for deer in the roadway, according to a memo       issued by the Washington 
State Patrol.
Huber had a passenger, Tina L. Mitchell, 45, of Portland.
When Russell and Huber slowed, they were struck by Lloyd D.       McCormack of 
Milwaukie, Ore., who was driving a 1929 Mercedes.
Huber reported rib and back pain and Mitchell reported left leg       pain. 
Both were transported to Southwest Washington Medical Center.
Russell injured a finger and was not transported, according to       the memo.
McCormack, 74, was not injured. 
He’s suspected of following the motorcyclists too closely, said       state 
patrol spokeswoman Sandra Steele-Hoots.
Damage to his Mercedes was estimated at $2,000, while damage to       Russell’s 
motorcycle was estimated at $3,000 and damage to Huber’s       Harley Davidson 
was estimated at $7,000.
The collision occurred at approximately 2 p.m. in the eastbound       lane.
