Male rider deceased following motorcycle collision in East Spokane

On November 29, 2021 at about 7:30pm, Spokane police responded to a single-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle near the intersection of E Trent Ave and N Waldo St in East Spokane. The 911 callers advised CPR was in progress on the motorcycle rider.

SPD officers responded alongside Spokane Fire and AMR, who all assisted in life-saving measures on the male rider. The rider was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased. Family members have been notified and the decedent’s name will be released at a later time by the Spokane County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Although the rider was amongst a group, his motorcycle was the only vehicle involved in the collision. At this time, speed is considered a factor in the collision. Anyone who witnessed the collision or has further information is encouraged to call Crime Check 509-456-2233 and reference case #2021-20204764.
