A man in his 30s died in a motorcycle crash on Sunday, July 4, at South 82nd and Hosmer Street in Tacoma.
In a release, the Tacoma Police Department (TPD) said officers were called around 1:48 p.m. and arrived at the scene with the Tacoma Fire Department.
Police spokesman Gary Wurges provided further information about how the collision occurred.
“A motorcyclist was traveling down Hosmer Street and a vehicle pulled out in front,” Wurges said. “The motorcyclist collided with the vehicle.”
Wurges said that “ there didn’t seem to be any alcohol involved” in causing the accident. The roadway was closed for nearly six hours, until 7:38 p.m.
