What we know:
Before 3 a.m., a Washington State Patrol trooper attempted to stop a motorcyclist traveling south on I-5, north of Mount Vernon.
Investigators said the motorcyclist failed to stop, continued on, and exited at the College Way off-ramp in Mount Vernon.
At that point, the trooper discontinued the stop attempt but later spotted the motorcyclist again and tried to pull them over a second time.
The motorcyclist again failed to stop, reentered I-5, and began traveling north in the southbound lanes.
Investigators said as the motorcyclist approached the Skagit River Bridge, they struck a part of the bridge and was ejected. The driver was hit by an oncoming semi-truck and died at the scene.
Harding said the Skagit SMART Team will take over the investigation.
