A Graham man driving a motorcycle died after a collision on State Route 16 in the Olalla area north of Gig Harbor on June 5. The State Patrol identified the man as William J. Bracking, 33. According to troopers, the accident occurred as a result of an earlier, unrelated crash in which a car rolled over on SR-16 near the highway's Burley-Olalla Road onramp. Two other vehicles also were involved in that mishap. While that accident was stsill being investigated and the scene was being cleared, traffic backed up on the highway. According to the State Patrol, some motorists began looking for ways around or out of the congestion, and an automobile making a U-turn and Bracking's motorcyle collided on the highway's shoulder. Possible vehicular homicide charges reportedly were being considered for the driver of the automobile. No other injuries from the accident were reported.
