The 51-year-old woman died at the scene southbound on State Route 167, north of State Route 18, after a second vehicle collided with her motorcycle.

The collision resulted in a 3.5-hour roadway closure, with traffic passing through the carpool lane.

According to the state patrol, the driver of the second vehicle, a 39-year-old Puyallup man, faces pending charges. The 39-year-old experienced no injuries from the incident.
