Driver in fatal motorcycle crash was speeding and not wearing a helmet – Loveland Reporter-Herald

The 63-year-old man who died in a motorcycle accident late last week was speeding and not wearing a helmet, according to newly released information from Loveland police.

After receiving reports of the motorcycle accident, LPD officers responded to the intersection of West Eisenhower Boulevard and North Roosevelt Avenue at 10:30 a.m. Friday.

Witnesses reported seeing the motorcycle traveling eastbound on Eisenhower at a high rate of speed before losing control and crashing through a fence, the agency said in a statement Tuesday. The agency’s preliminary investigation confirmed that speed was a factor.

No other vehicles were involved in the accident.

The driver, a Loveland man, was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Police said he was not wearing a helmet.

The Larimer County Coroner’s Office will release the identity and cause and manner of death at a later date.
