In brief: Motorcyclist now in custody after Friday crash on on-ramp

A motorcyclist crashed after losing control on a freeway on-ramp in Spokane late Friday night.

Tyrel M. Clark, 30, was westbound on the Altamont Street on-ramp to Interstate 90 when he lost control and struck a median barrier shortly after 10 p.m., the Washington State Patrol said.

The on-ramp was blocked for less than an hour because of the incident.

Clark, who was wearing a helmet, was transported to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center with injuries but had been discharged by Saturday night.

Clark was in custody on suspicion of driving under the influence, the WSP said.
