A motorcyclist was killed in a crash Tuesday afternoon in Hazel Dell.
The crash, in the 5500 block of Northeast Hazel Dell Avenue, was reported shortly before 1:30 p.m.
According to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, deputies and medics were called in as passers-by tried to help the rider and perform CPR.
The rider was unresponsive, the sheriff’s office said. Ambulance crews arrived and were unable to resuscitate the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The sheriff’s office said it appears the motorcyclist, who was heading north, failed to negotiate an uphill turn and traveled off the road. His body then struck a metal post. No other vehicles were involved.
