PUYALLUP, Wash. (AP) — The Washington State Patrol says a motorcyclist killed in a crash in Puyallup was speeding at more than 100 mph.

Trooper Guy Gill tells KOMO-TV that the 24-year-old man was thrown about 440 feet when he hit a car on Highway 167 Saturday afternoon.

The impact left the front fork assembly of the motorcycle embedded in the front of the car, broken off from the rest of the motorcycle.

The car’s driver was treated at a hospital for minor injuries.

The biker was wearing a helmet. It’s not known if drugs or alcohol was a factor.
