SEATTLE — A motorcyclist is missing after getting into a collision on the I-90 bridge Friday night and falling into Lake Washington, state patrol said.

WSP said the motorcyclist was riding eastbound on I-90 through the Mount Baker Tunnel at a high speed, cutting in and out of traffic.

The motorcyclist then hit another car when crossing onto the floating bridge. The motorcycle hit the concrete barrier and went into the water, WSP said.

The motorcycle and the rider haven’t been found.

Rescue swimmers and divers were unable to find the motorcyclist in the water, Seattle Fire said. Crews turned the scene over to WSP for recovery efforts.
