A motorcyclist was killed in a collision this week at a heavily traveled intersection north of downtown Minneapolis, officials said Thursday.

The crash occurred about 9:15 p.m. Tuesday at W. Broadway and Washington Avenue N., the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office said.

Willen Tyler McIntyre, 38, of Brooklyn Center was taken by emergency medical responders to North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, where he died that night, the Examiner’s Office said.

Police said McIntyre was heading north on Washington and struck a southbound vehicle as it turned left onto eastbound Broadway. Police have yet to say what type of vehicle or whether anyone else was hurt.

The intersection often has a substantial amount of traffic throughout the day and evening, in part because of the exit and entrance ramps near Interstate 94.
