RENTON, Wash. — Five motorcyclists died in separate crashes across Western Washington, all within 24 hours over the weekend.
KOMO reports two motorcyclists died in a head-on collision with each other while the other three were hit by cars.
The State Patrol tells drivers to pay close attention to motorcycles and give them a longer following distance since they can often stop faster than cars.
Motorcyclists are reminded to wear clothing that protects your skin in the event that you do get in a crash.
