DOVER, Del. – A motorcycle crash claimed the life of a Delaware man Tuesday afternoon in the Dover area.

At around 3:15 p.m., police say a 2004 Yamaha R6L motorcycle was traveling westbound on Sorghum Mill Road, approaching the intersection at Carolina Avenue. The motorcycle veered left for unknown reasons, crossing into the opposing travel lane, and exiting the southern edge of the roadway. The motorcycle continued this path until it hit a series of pine trees off of the roadway and came to rest.

The driver of the motorcycle, a 32-year-old Camden-Wyoming man, was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. He was taken to an area hospital but unfortunately died as a result of his injuries. Identification is pending notification of next of kin.

No other vehicles were involved, and no other injuries were reported.
