Motorcycles and the Golden Ears Bridge
Over on his blog, Advance reporter Matthew Claxton writes about a serious crash between a car and a motorcycle on 201st near 96th Avenue. The motorcycle rider had to be airlifted to hospital, but police report he is expected to survive.
Matthew hypothesizes that there will be an increasing number of motorcycle incidents as there seems to be more motorcycles out on the road these days. Sadly, he's probably right. We all need to take better care out there.
I think this is the first major accident near the Golden Ears Bridge since it opened. The report says the car and the motorcycle were headed northbound on 201, so they must have been planning to access the bridge. A sad milestone, to be sure.
