Police say a motorcyclist was killed in a Brookville crash early this morning.
According
to detectives, a 21-year-old female was driving a 2017 Ford sedan
northbound on Cedar Swamp Road when she lost control of the vehicle
causing it to flip over and strike a telephone pole. The downed police
caused a hazardous condition with the wires down.
Police
say within a few minutes, a 33-year-old man operating a 2006 Honda
motorcycle northbound on Cedar Swamp Road became entangled in the wires
causing him to fall off his motorcycle.
The male victim, 33, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police
say responding officers observed the female driver to have slurred
speech, bloodshot eyes and an odor of alcohol emanated from her breath.
The
woman was placed under arrest without incident and was transported to a
hospital for treatment of her injuries.
The female driver is charged with DWI and vehicular manslaughter.
