Abilene, TX — A local man died over the weekend, police say, after a fatal motorcycle accident that happened just north of Abilene. Michael Hammond, 32, was killed on Saturday night (September 27, 2014) after his motorcycle was in an accident along Hayter Road/County Road 499.
It happened at about 9:00 p.m. that night, roughly two miles north of the city. Hammond was riding his motorcycle along the roadway when he lost control for unknown reasons, swerving off the roadway and hitting a culvert.
The accident caused major injuries and paramedics said that Hammond passed away almost immediately at the scene. It’s not really clear why he lost control of his bike that night, but police said they’d investigate further.
At the moment, it doesn’t look like any other vehicles were involved.
