Medical examiner identifies motorcyclist killed in Monday’s Auburn train collision

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified Jason Paul Warsalla, 42, as the motorcyclist killed in a collision with a train Monday, Nov. 2, near West Main Street and C Street NW in Auburn.

Warsalla died from multiple blunt force injuries, and his death was ruled an accident, according to the medical examiner’s office. Auburn Police are investigating.

As we previously reported, patrol and traffic officers responded about 11:50 a.m. Monday and sadly found Warsalla dead when they arrived.

Witnesses told investigators the motorcyclist rode past the lowered railroad crossing arms before the collision, police said.

West Main Street was closed between C Street NW and B Street NW following the crash.

The department said Monday that the investigation remained ongoing and that additional information would be released as it became available.

Everyone at South King Media extends their deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved Jason.
