FLORENCE, Ore. (AP) – Officials with Oregon State Police say a man from Germany has been killed in a collision involving three motorcycles on Highway 101 north of Florence.
Lt. Bill Fugate said in a news release that troopers and emergency personnel responded to a report of a crash at about 2:20 p.m. Tuesday.
Witnesses told troopers that three motorcyclists were heading north on the highway and passing two vehicles in a no-passing zone when the lead motorcycle slowed abruptly, causing all three to collide.
A 58-year-old man riding one of the motorcycles died at the scene. Two other men, ages 51 and 53, were taken to a local hospital and treated for minor injuries. All three riders are German citizens.
Highway 101 was closed Tuesday for about two hours in both directions as authorities investigated.
