A Palouse man motorcyclist died from injuries suffered early Friday morning when he attempted to flee a traffic stop by Washington State University Police and lost control of his motorcycle on Terre View Drive in north Pullman.

WSU police say Logan McReynolds, 20, was seen speeding at just after 12:30 AM. When the officer attempted to make a traffic stop, McReynolds, who is suspected of having been driving with a suspended license, accelerated, lost control and left the roadway.

He was taken to Pullman Memorial Hospital with critical injuries and later transported by helicopter to Deaconess Medical Center in Spokane where he died early Friday afternoon.

McReynolds, who was not a WSU student, was wearing a helmet.
