Motorcycle Driver Injured in Interstate 5 Traffic Collision [Bellingham, WA]

Bellingham, WA (September 12, 2022) – On Sunday, a motorcycle driver sustained injuries in an Interstate 5 traffic collision.

It was about 1:30 p.m. when the traffic collision north of Ohio Street occurred involving two other vehicles.

According to the authorities, the incident happened while traffic was backed up due to a striping crew working in the southbound traffic lanes. A 1994 Dodge RAM pickup failed to stop and rear-ended the motorcycle into a 2007 Subaru Legacy. 

Afterward, the Dodge then slammed into the Subaru.

Immediately, the responding medics rushed the motorcyclist to PeaceHealth St Joseph Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

Moreover, the authorities cited the Dodge driver was cited for following too close.

When driving, it is important to follow all driving laws and the conditions of the road. If you see any vehicle or driver that looks dangerous, keep your distance. If you see a vehicle weaving in and out of the lanes, following too closely, or traveling at a higher rate of speed, move over a few lanes and get out of their way.

Drive defensively to ensure the safety of surrounding vehicles and to avoid incidents like the collision north of Ohio Street.
