The motorcycle continued for over two hundred feet before striking a tree and fence. The bike continued almost another 100 feet ejecting the driver and tearing off the wheel assembly. Montgomery County Forensics Investigators responded to the scene. Eickenhorst Funeral Directors transported the male to the Montgomery County Forensic Center for autopsy..
