A 40 year-old Richland, Washington man was riding his bike down Wright Avenue when an SUV turned right in front of him at an intersection.  The "right hook" type motorcycle collision is one of the most common motorcycle wrecks we see in our Washington motorcycle accident practice.  The SUV reportedly failed to see a stop sign it had to obey and turned onto Wright Avenue from Tinkle Street despite the motorcycle's right of way.

The motorcycle rider apparently did not have time to avoid the SUV who cut him off and crashed into it.  At the scene of the accident the man was speaking to people prior to being transported to Kadlec Hospital.  Unfortunately, his condition must have become much worse as he later died from his accident related injuries.  Our prayers go out to his family.
