Motorcyclist killed in crash near Grass Valley
GRASS VALLEY -- A motorcyclist died Sunday evening after crashing near Grass Valley.
The Grass Valley Police Department say the crash happened around 5:30 p.m. near the intersection of Combine Road and Cascade Crossing Road, about 15 miles south of Grass Valley.
Responding officers found the motorcyclist, identified as Donald Foley, 61, of Colfax, dead at the scene. The road way was partial blocked for over two hours as crews worked the area.
Investigators say that Foley was riding fast when failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway, which caused his motorcycle to go off-road. The crash threw Foley into a series of rocks and the motorcycle landed on top of him.
Neither drugs nor alcohol are suspect in the crash, which remains under investigation.
