Out-of-state motorcyclist killed in Friday night crash in Loyalsock Township

A 65-year-old motorcyclist from out of state was killed Friday night in a one-vehicle crash on the Warrensville Road off-ramp of Interstate 180 East, just west of the Montoursville borough line in Loyalsock Township, the Lycoming County Coroner’s Office confirmed.

The operator’s identity was expected to be released Sunday. “We’re still trying to reach family,” a deputy coroner said Saturday afternoon.

While the man’s driver’s license stated he was from South Dakota, investigators believed he may have moved from another state.

It appears the cyclist, who was wearing a helmet, lost control on the off-ramp and crashed about about 6:10 p.m.

He was pronounced dead in the emergency room just before 7 p.m., the deputy coroner said.

The off-ramp remained closed until about 9:15 p.m. until state police completed their on-scene portion of their investigation.

Besides township firefighters and paramedics, fire police from Montoursville and South Williamsport responded along with employees from the state Department of Transportation.

Starting at $3.90/week.
