FROM WSU NEWS SERVICE: PULLMAN, Wash. -- Logan R. McReynolds of Palouse, the motorcyclist
who was involved in an accident on Terre View Drive early Friday
morning, has died in Deaconess Medical Center in Spokane. He was 20.
McReynolds’ motorcycle left the roadway when he attempted to flee a traffic stop by Washington State University Police.
WSU Police Chief Bill Gardner said the WSU officer was patrolling in
the area of university-owned apartments near Terre View Drive when he
spotted the motorcycle, which was exceeding the speed limit, at 12:37
a.m. Friday. The officer attempted to make a traffic stop, but the
cyclist, who is suspected of having been driving with a suspended
license, accelerated, lost control and left the roadway.
McReynolds, who was not a WSU student, was wearing a helmet. He was
taken to Pullman Memorial Hospital with critical injuries and later
transported by helicopter to Deaconess Medical Center in Spokane where
he died early Friday afternoon. |
