Washington State Patrol responded to a motorcycle crash at the intersection of SR20 and Bayview Edison Road on Sunday at 2:45 p.m. that claimed a life.
According to the investigators, a 30-year-old Snohomish man was driving a 2019 Yamaha MT-07 westbound on SR20. A 2018 Yamaha FJR1300 driven by a 64-year-old Blaine man entered the intersection with a green light to turn left onto Bayview Edison Road northbound as it was eastbound on SR20.
A westbound motorcycle approached the intersection, crossed two lanes to a right-turn-only lane, failed to stop at the red light, and entered the intersection. Both the motorcycles crashed with the MT-07, striking the FJR1300.
The 30-year-old man was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
The 64-year-old was taken to Island Hospital in Anacortes, where he died later.
An investigation into the crash is under review.
