Jeremy Wade Myers died Tuesday at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle from injuries to his head, neck and spinal cord, according to a Thursday report from the King County Medical Examiner's Office.

Myers was traveling at a high rate of speed northbound on Auburn Way North when he collided with a southbound vehicle, according to an Auburn Police media release.

The motorcycle and vehicle each caught fire. The vehicle also rolled over. The woman driver of the vehicle and her three dogs in the vehicle were not injured.
