Woman killed in motorcycle wreck

One woman was killed and a man injured when their motorcycle collided with a car Monday in Des Moines.

The accident happened about 8:30 p.m. on Pacific Highway South and South 226th Street, officials with South King Fire and Rescue reported.

The motorcycle, a 2007 Harley-Davidson, was northbound on Pacific when it collided with a southbound Kia sedan after the Kia driver made a left turn in front of the motorcycle, Des Moines police Sgt. Bob Collins said.

The impact was enough to send the Kia spinning around, he said.

The couple on the motorcycle were thrown at least 75 feet. The woman, 49, suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. The 50-year-old man driving the motorcycle was taken to Harborview Medical Center, but his condition was unavailable.
