Motorcycle Crash Claims Life in Wilmington
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A 37-year-old Wilmington man died Tuesday evening in a motorcycle accident at the NC 133 and I-140 interchange.
The incident occurred around 6:39 p.m. on September 1, when a motorcycle exiting I-140 onto NC 133 lost control and overturned. According to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, the motorcycle landed in the roadway.
At that time, an SUV and a passenger car were traveling north on NC 133. The SUV collided with the motorcycle, and the passenger car subsequently struck debris from the crash.
The motorcycle operator was pronounced dead at the scene, but authorities have withheld the victim’s name out of respect for the family.
The crash involved three vehicles: a motorcycle, an SUV, and a passenger car. No charges have been filed as the investigation remains ongoing, according to Highway Patrol.
