A woman was killed in a collision involving a car and a motorcycle on Interstate 90 in the Seattle area. State troopers responded to the crash, which happened on I-90 westbound near the interchange with I-405. Authorities have described it as a fatal collision.
According to an eyewitness who spoke to Fox 13, the woman was riding the motorcycle when she hit a car that was stopped on the roadway. The force of the impact threw her from the motorcycle.
After being thrown off, the woman was then struck by another car, according to the eyewitness account. The sequence of events left the crash with deadly consequences for the motorcyclist.
The collision blocked the right three lanes of the highway. The lane closures backed up traffic for nearly two miles as crews worked at the scene of the crash.
State troopers urged drivers to use caution going through the area while the response was underway. The crash created significant delays for motorists traveling through the busy stretch of highway near the interchange.
The roadway has since reopened to traffic. The fatal collision unfolded on a heavily traveled section of I-90 westbound at the point where it meets I-405.
