A 56-year-old Lake Tapps man and a 62-year-old Sumner woman were killed Sunday when the motorcycle they were riding crashed in Tacoma, the State Patrol reported.
The wreck occurred about 6:10 p.m. on southbound I-705 at the interchange to northbound I-5.
Troopers said the black Harley-Davidson was attempting to enter northbound I-5 when it left the road to the left and hit a concrete barrier. The motorcycle crashed and came to rest in the road.
