What statewide motorcycle fatality data shows
According to the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission, motorcycle riders, including passengers, accounted for 15 percent of Washington's 2,750 road deaths from 2016 through 2020. That is a statewide share of road fatalities, not a King County count of motorcycle-involved crashes or deaths. It does not establish whether this White Center collision was fatal or provide a like-for-like comparison with an individual crash.
Westside Seattle reported on the White Center collision. At the time of its initial report, the motorcyclist's identity and further details about the rider's condition had not been released.
