A 20-year-old male motorcyclist was arrested by Kirkland police yesterday for reckless driving and vehicular assault after he struck a woman walking her two dogs in a crosswalk in downtown.

According to KPD spokesperson Lt. Mike Murray, the incident occurred at around 2:30-3 p.m. when the motorcyclist was driving southbound on Lake Street and passed traffic that had stopped for pedestrians in the crosswalk by entering the opposite, northbound lane. According to Murray, he  attempted to lay the motorcycle down when he saw the woman in her twenties walking her two dogs with a man in the crosswalk next to Ben and Jerry’s but struck her, sending her into a vehicle facing northbound.

The woman was taken to EvergreenHealth and treated for abrasions and a concussion. Both dogs were struck by the motorcycle as well, according to Murray. One of them is uninjured, with the other dog possibly paralyzed below the neck.

The man walking with the woman was hit in the shin by one of the motorcycle wheels and taken to the hospital as well, but suffered no serious injuries.

The motorcyclist suffered from minor abrasions but had no serious injuries. He was arrested by police, booked at the Kirkland Jail, then released. He was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol and has no prior criminal record, according to Murray.

It is not known if either of them were Kirkland residents.
