A Whatcom County man is dead after a Tuesday afternoon motorcycle crash in Bellingham.

Micah Mowry, 27, crashed his motorcycle at the intersection of Barkley Boulevard and Sunset Drive at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, said Bellingham Police spokesman Mark Young.

"The driver of the motorcycle apparently lost control of the motorcycle in the intersection," Young said.

Witnesses said Mowry was traveling at a high rate of speed and weaving through traffic on Sunset Drive before losing control and sliding into a vehicle, according to Young.

"The motorcycle driver sustained injuries and was transported to Saint Joseph Hospital for those injuries and later died in hospital," he said.
