Police want to know who ran over a motorcyclist Saturday night in the Puyallup area.

The 37-year-old man was killed after he crashed into the rear of an SUV, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department. The motorcyclist was headed north on Canyon Road East at 144th Street East around 9:25 p.m. when the collision occurred.

After the motorcyclist, who was traveling between 80-100 miles per hour according to witnesses, struck the SUV, he was run over by another vehicle that fled the scene, according to Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Sgt. Darren Moss.

“Investigators are looking to identify the driver of that vehicle for questioning,” the Sheriff’s Department said Monday. The vehicle is described as a dark SUV with a spare tire mounted on the back tailgate. It might be an Isuzu Rodeo, the department added.

The Sheriff’s Department urged anyone with information about the collision or live in the area and have video footage to contact 911.
