Spring is here and summer is approaching, which means more motorcyclists are occupying the roadways. As a Washington motorcycle attorney and Bellevue wrongful death lawyer, I would just like to remind all motorcyclists to ride responsibly. Every day, I hear of motorcycle accidents in Washington State that alter lives forever.

Just yesterday, a Spokane motorcyclist was killed near Rosalia. Officials believe high speeds and strong winds are to blame for the tragic crash.

Paul Ganoung, 47, was found 60 feet away from highway 195. According to the Washington State Patrol, strong winds forced the motorcyclist off the road, causing him to slam into a guardrail. Sadly, he was instantly killed in the impact.

Only moments before the crash, a deputy registered the man’s speed at 80 miles per hour.
High speeds combined with the 30 to 40 mph winds caused this fatal collision.

We are very sorry to hear of this tragic accident. We offer our condolences to the victim’s friends and family during this difficult time.
