LONGVIEW — A motorcyclist has died in a Longview accident. On Wednesday night just before midnight, officers responded to an accident with injuries at the intersection of Ruthlynn Drive and McCann Road. When officers arrived they determined a man, later identified as Garrett Jordan Robinson, 20, of Longview, was driving his motorcycle at a high rate of speed southbound on McCann Road. Robinson struck a car driven by Amy Beavers, 27, also of Longview, in the intersection, as she was making a left turn from McCann onto Ruthlynn. Robinson was pronounced dead on the scene by Judge B.H. Jameson. Beavers was transported to Good Shepherd Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. The accident remains under investigation, but police say alcohol may also have been a factor in the crash.
