A Coupeville man was killed in a motorcycle accident in Central Whidbey on June 12, the Washington State Patrol reported.

Matthew M. Blankenship, 41, was riding a 2015 BMW R1200 motorcycle north on Race Road at a high rate of speed, failed to negotiate a curve in the road, left the roadway and struck a tree, the memo on the accident states.
