Fatal South Seattle Motorcycle Crash Delays Light Rail Service


Posted on Aug 21, 2009

Light rail service was disrupted in South Seattle early on Wednesday morning when a WA motorcycle accident took place on the railroad tracks. Two motorcycles crashed on Martin Luther King Jr. Way South for an unknown reason at around 2 a.m. on Wednesday. One rider was killed while the other was critically injured. The motorcycle rider who was killed was ejected from his bike and came to rest on the light rail tracks.

The light rail was closed from about 5 am to 7 am, disrupting the Seattle morning commute. However, although the stations were closed between the Tukwila station and the Othello station, alternative means of transportation were available for light rail riders. Commuters took buses as investigators collected evidence from the Washington State motorcycle accident scene. Debris from the two crashed biked was strewn over a large distance, and one of the bikes came to rest on the light rail tracks, furthering delays.

Seattle Police reported that evidence has shown that the two men were speeding when they both hit an obstruction in the road, though the crash is still under investigation.

Friends and family of the injured motorcycle rider and the killed motorcycle rider told reporters and police that the bikers belonged to a local Seattle motorcycle club and that both men were safe riders.

The names of the two Seattle motorcycle accident victims were not released.
