A male motorcyclist died Thursday morning following a collision with a passenger vehicle at the intersection of Mission Avenue and Hamilton Street in Spokane.
While the specific mechanics of the crash remain under review, the presence of the Major Crimes Unit suggests that the severity of the outcome necessitates a comprehensive forensic reconstruction.
The emotional toll of the event was evident as witnesses were observed speaking with chaplains and officers during the closure.
As KREM indicated, the investigation remained active well after the roads were cleared.
Residents in the Logan neighborhood have previously expressed concern about the speed of vehicles traveling along Hamilton, which functions as a de facto highway for many drivers.
