CSP reported that on Sunday, around noon, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with one person riding was driving eastbound on Hwy 115. As the motorcycle was entering a right curve in the road near Brewster Lane, west of Florence, it crossed over the double-yellow line and into the oncoming traffic.
According to CSP, the motorcycle side-swiped a Chevrolet Tahoe that was driving in the westbound lane, then hit a Jeep Grand Cherokee that was driving behind the Tahoe head-on, causing the Tahoe to spin out and the motorcyclist to be thrown from the bike, which slid into the eastbound lane. The Jeep hit the motorcyclist before coming to a stop.
The motorcyclist was pronounced dead on the scene, and the Fremont County Coroner will release their identity at a later time, according to CSP.
Neither the driver of the Tahoe, a 49-year-old man from Florence, nor the driver of the Jeep, a 36-year-old woman from Penrose, had injuries. The cause of the crash is being investigated.
