Escanaba motorcyclist dies in collision in NE Wisconsin
OCONTO COUNTY, Wis. — A 39-year-old Escanaba man was killed Sunday afternoon when the motorcycle he was operating collided with a truck in Oconto County.
The crash happened about 1:30 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of County Trunk Highway S and Schwartz Road in Chase, a small town slightly northwest of Green Bay, according to reporting from the Escanaba Daily Press.
“A preliminary investigation indicates that a truck was stopped at the stop sign on Schwartz Road, facing south. The truck then proceeded into the intersection, where it was struck on the passenger-side box area of the truck by an eastbound motorcycle traveling on CTH S,” the Oconto County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Communications Center reported in a news release.
The motorcycle rider died “as a result of injuries sustained in the crash,” the release stated. Two Oconto Falls, Wis., men in the truck — a 48-year-old driver and his 25-year-old passenger — were released after medical personnel evaluated them on site.
