Family Looking for Answers after Fatal Hamburg Motorcycle Accident

Sept. 19, 2012

The family of a 62-year-old man from Lewiston, New York, who was killed in a motorcycle accident last month, is still searching for answers to questions swirling around the events that led to the crash.

The Buffalo News reported that on Aug.12 around 1:10 p.m., the victim was riding a Harley-Davidson east along the thruway near Hamburg when he veered off exit 57 at a high rate of speed. The man then lost control of the motorcycle and veered off the road before striking an embankment and crashing. He was rushed to a local hospital, but died the next day as a result of brain injuries.

The man’s family has several unanswered questions surrounding the Buffalo motorcycle accident, due, in part, to the fact that a chase could have led to the crash.

Three eyewitness reports they saw a Jeep appearing to chase the motorcycle down the highway. The family believes the biker may have slowed for a nearby construction zone, which could have ignited a road rage incident forcing the motorcyclist to increase his speed on the exit ramp to escape the other driver.
