An Oregon man was killed Tuesday when his motorcycle traveled into the path of a tractor-trailer driven by a Vancouver man.
Oregon State Police troopers and emergency personnel responded about 10:15 a.m. to a two-vehicle crash on Highway 101 near Milepost 32, south of Cannon Beach.
The preliminary investigation found that a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, driven by Van Nordquist, 70, of Cannon Beach was traveling south when it failed to negotiate a curve.
The motorcycle crossed into the northbound lane and collided with a Freightliner semi-truck towing two empty trailers, driven by Joshua Mullins, 24, of Vancouver, the news release states.
