LONGVIEW — A 17-year-old Oregon teen has died after his motorcycle collided with a water truck at a motocross track in southwest Washington.
The Cowlitz County sheriff’s office says Dylan Bunnell of Mulino, Ore., and another boy were driving off-road motorcycles at Riverdale Raceway on Saturday but didn’t realize the tracks were temporarily closed for watering to keep dust down.
The teens had rounded a curve and climbed a large hill when they struck a water truck coming in the opposite direction. They apparently didn’t see the truck because of the large hill.
Bunnell died at the scene. The other 14-year-old was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.
