The Washington State Patrol reported that 23-year-old man from Illinois died from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident late Tuesday on Whidbey Island.

According to a press release, the motorcyclist was westbound at about 11:56 p.m. on Pine Wood Way at the intersection of West Beach Road and failed to stop at a stop sign. The motorcycle, a 1992 Kawasaki KDX, left the road and struck a house, the release said.

The State Patrol release indicated that the motorcyclist, who died at Harborview Hospital in Seattle several hours after the accident, was not wearing a helmet and may have been driving too fast for the conditions, and that drugs or alcohol may have been involved. The accident remains under investigation.

The driver’s name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
