Motorcyclist dies Sunday on Highway 101; 2 others killed Saturday

Three motorcyclists died in a deadly weekend on Highway 101 on the North Olympic Peninsula.

One motorcyclist died in a collision at about 3 p.m. Sunday at Milepost 308 on Highway 101, near Brinnon, said Trooper Russ Winger, spokesman for the State Patrol.

There were reports a second motorcyclist may have been involved, but there was no confirmation, Winger said.

As of 5 p.m. the scene was still active, he said.

On Saturday, a wreck at noon also on Highway 101 near Milepost 318, near Eldon, resulted in the deaths of two motorcyclists, a 48-year-old man from Grahm and his passenger, a 50-year-old woman from Spanaway.

Their identities had not been released pending notification of family members.
