Fatal motorcycle accident on Leary

Speed appears to be the main factor in a fatal motorcycle accident near the 15900 block of Leary Way early Sunday morning, according to Redmond Police.

At 12:15 a.m., police responded to a traffic collision and determined that a single motorcycle had been traveling southbound on Leary Way near 159th Place Northeast, when the motorcycle struck a curb, according to a police press release. The impact threw the driver from the motorcycle. The driver, a 31-year-old Redmond man, died at the scene.

The man’s name will be released by the King County Medical Examiner’s Officer after his next of kin is notified.
