A 25-year-old man died Saturday evening after crashing his motorcycle on northbound Interstate 5 in the Lakewood area, according to the Washington State Patrol.
The Auburn man died at the scene of the wreck. Two other people, a driver and passenger involved in the crash, were treated at the scene for their injuries, troopers say.
About 7:20 p.m., the motorcyclist was headed north on I-5 in the Lakewood/South Tacoma area. Troopers say he was speeding too fast for the conditions.
The man then attempted a lane change and crashed into a second vehicle, according to State Patrol. The motorcycle then entered another lane and hit a third vehicle, troopers say.
The motorcycle and the second vehicle came to a stop on the left shoulder. The third vehicle came to a stop on the right shoulder about a quarter mile north of the crash scene.
Traffic in the area was slowed for more than three hours, according to State Patrol.
