KINGMAN, Ariz. — Lake Havasu City police released the name of a man who was killed in a traffic accident Sunday.

Sgt. Kirk Cesena said Michael Washburn, 41, of Lake Havasu City, died at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas at 10:45 p.m., about 3½ hours after the motorcycle he was operating slammed into the back of a pickup on McCulloch Boulevard.

Washburn, who was not wearing a helmet, was severely injured when his 2001 Harley-Davidson struck the rear of a 2001 Dodge Dakota, Cesena said. Both vehicles were traveling east on the thoroughfare but that the motorcycle was traveling at a high rate of speed, he said.

The driver of the pickup was not injured.
