SEATTLE — The body of a motorcyclist was pulled from Lake Washington on Friday afternoon.
The recovery follows a crash the motorcyclist was involved in last week on Interstate 90 in Seattle.
Police said the motorcyclist was speeding, cutting in and out of traffic through the Mount Baker Tunnel when he clipped a car, lost control, hit a barrier and flew over the bridge.
The King County medical examiner will identify the body.
