Rider Dies In Harlan

A motorcyclist is killed…when he veers off S.R. 37 in Harlan. This happened on Friday, officials say. Gregory Racioppi was headed south…when he drifts onto the gravel edge of the roadway…losing control. The motorcycle lays down on its side…then becomes upright again…throwing the rider free…before it goes back down to the pavement. They find his body…40 feet from the wreckage. All confirm…Racioppi died of blunt force injuries in the accident. Unsafe speed?…the cause.
