At approximately 7:30 p.m. Sunday, emergency personnel were dispatched to Ind. 15, between CR 300N and CR 350N for a single motorcycle crash, according to a previous news release from the WPD.
The preliminary results of the investigation indicate the 2012 Harley-Davidson Electric Glide Ultra Class motorcycle was traveling south on Ind. 15. The driver - Dustin Cloud, 36, Syracuse - stated he lost control of the motorcycle on loose gravel, ejecting him and his passenger, Hildabridle.
