ROCKPORT — A 31-year-old Seattle motorcyclist died when he crossed the Highway 530 centerline and struck an oncoming Chevrolet Trail Blazer Saturday morning, said State Patrol Trooper Keith Leary.

Bryan Dunham was was traveling westbound at a high rate of speed on a 2007 Aprilia motorcycle, Leary said. The motorcyclist was about seven miles east of Rockport when he crossed the centerline at about 9:40 a.m. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the collision.

The 62-year-old Edmonds driver of the Trail Blazer was not injured in the accident, which occurred at milepost 61.

The highway was closed for four hours while State Patrol officials cleared the scene.
