A 52-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a single-vehicle accident yesterday evening in Mineral, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.
It happened about 7:15 p.m. on the 700 block of Mineral Creek Road, Chief Deputy Stacy Brown said this morning.
The woman was traveling northbound and it appeared she had been going too fast at a right sweeping curve, according to Brown. Her 1997 Harley Davidson left the road, went through a barbed wire fence and came to rest in an open field, Brown said.
The 52-year-old Mineral woman was pronounced dead at the scene. She wasn’t wearing a helmet, according to the sheriff’s office.
