Washington man dies in motorcycle crash on Siskiyou Summit Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Sep. 28, 2015 at 4:38 PM Posted Sep. 28, 2015 at 4:38 PM » Social News A 70-year-old Washington man died after losing control of his motorcycle Sunday afternoon on Interstate 5's Siskiyou Summit, Oregon State Police reported. William R. Larson of Toledo, Wash., was riding north on the interstate when he lost control of his 2004 Yamaha as the road curved to the right near mile 6 on the pass, an OSP news release said. The motorcycle hit four orange construction barrels, then plowed into a concrete barrier. Emergency crews and police were sent to the crash around 2 p.m. Sunday. Larson was taken to Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center by ambulance, but was pronounced dead at the hospital, police said. One lane of northbound traffic was closed for two hours while investigators worked at the scene. The preliminary investigation indicates speed likely was a contributing factor, OSP reported. The investigation is ongoing, and police said they might release more details later. On Sept. 17, a tractor-trailer jackknifed, hit a concrete barrier and caught fire in the same stretch of freeway. The truck driver wasn't injured in that crash.
