SEATTLE (AP) — A motorcycle rider hit the wall on an Interstate 5 onramp Wednesday night in Seattle, flew over the barrier and fell about 50 feet to the ground to his death.

The Washington State Patrol says the 37-year-old Seattle man failed to negotiate the curve on the ramp from Michigan Street to northbound I-5.

KOMO-TV reports a second motorcyclist crashed into the barrier at the same time and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
