The 47-year-old motorcycle rider was driving on Rice Road when a 16-year-old driving a Honday sedan pulled out in front of him. The manon the motorcycle was unable to avoid the car and crashed into the side of the Honda. The man was going to be taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, but sadly he was pronounced dead at the scene before he could be transported. The driver of the Honda and the 17-year-old passenger in the car did not suffer any personal injuries.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family of the motorcycle rider. Unfortunately, drivers of cars not seeing motorcycles and pulling out in front of them is an all too common cause of motorcycle accidents and wrongful deaths.

Any time that you are on the road, whether in a car, truck, bike or motorcycle, it is important that you remain alert and aware of everyone around you. Always remind yourself to double check to make sure no one is coming down the road when you pull out into the street. Shaving ten seconds off of your commute is not worth the risk of pulling your vehicle out in front of someone else. Please always drive safe in order to help prevent injuries and car accidents.
