Man killed on motorcycle identified as Kirkland resident
|
Ohm was riding a friend's 2002 Yamaha motorcycle northbound on Juanita Drive Northeast in unincorporated King County, said King County sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart.
About 3:10 p.m., a 53-year-old Woodinville man stopped to turn left at Northeast 112th Street, Urquhart said. While the man was waiting for southbound traffic to clear, Ohm's motorcycle crashed into the back of his car, Urquhart said.
Despite wearing a full-face helmet, Ohm died at the scene, he said. The driver of the car was not hurt. Ohm died of lacerations and a skull fracture, according to the county Medical Examiner's Office.
The crash is still under investigation, Urquhart said.

A grant of $5,440 is designated to repair and replace portions of a Carnation farmhouse's ornate front porch. The house was built in 1907 by Andrew and Bergette Hjertoos. The building currently houses the Snoqualmie Tribe offices.
The owners of the 1905 Charles and Minnie Moore House in Fall City will receive $4,000 to prepare a long-term restoration plan. The house is distinctive for its vertical plank frame construction.
