SKAGIT COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – A motorcyclist was killed in a crash in Skagit County.

Washington State Patrol (WSP) says that the biker was heading east on the North Cascades Highway through Concrete Sunday afternoon.

A car attempted to turn west onto the highway from Dalles Road, and the motorcyclist wasn’t able to stop in time to avoid a crash.

The motorcyclist, identified as 48-year-old Wesley Feller of Arlington, was pronounced dead at a Skagit County firehouse.

It’s unclear if the driver, a 28-year-old Concrete woman, will face any charges.

WSP says that the cause of the crash was a failure to yield, and that no drugs or alcohol were involved.
