State Patrol investigators have released photos of a motorcycle involved in a fatal collision Saturday and a photo of what a car involved might look like.
The incident happened shortly before 11 p.m. A Kent man, James P. Suddoth, 57, was riding his Harley-Davidson eastbound in the right hand lane.
"Suddoth made a lane change into the left hand lane and, for unknown reasons, went off the roadway crashing into the cable barriers," State Patrol spokeswoman Brandy Kessler said in a statement. "As a result, Suddoth was thrown from his motorcycle and landed in the left lane of westbound traffic."
Witnesses said a light-colored four-door passenger car struck Suddoth and slowed down, then sped away without stopping.
Suddoth also was hit two more times by two other motorists who stopped, and stayed at the scene. He died at the scene.
Anyone with information is asked to call State Patrol investigators at 253-536-6210.
