The rider was apparently headed north when it left the road, then struck a tree alongside the roadway. The rider, a 19-year-old male from Yakima, was unresponsive at the scene.

No word from Police if speed was a factor, or if the rider was wearing a helmet, or any other extenuating factors played a role.
