One Dead In Motorcycle Crash

Authorities in Steuben County are investigating a fatal motorcycle crash, near the intersection of County Roads 700 N and 925 E, in rural Clear Lake Township. Emergency crews found 48-year-old Kenneth Byrd of Fremont. They were able to begin treatment, but Byrd died at the scene. Investigators say Byrd was traveling south at a high rate of speed. That’s when he went off the road, hitting a wooden post, brush, and then a large stack of firewood. He was not wearing a helmet. They do not believe alcohol was a factor. The crash remains under investigation by the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office.
