The bike landed in the center of the secondary road. Fire-Rescue units arrived minutes later to find the driver lying on the shoulder of the road with no signs of life. The Coroner’s Office was notified. Sidneys Road in the area of the accident was closed to traffic for nearly two hours while Law Enforcement investigated the crash. The SC Highway Patrol is handling the investigation.
