The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office says the single motorcycle crash was reported just before 11 a.m. on the Vigue Road near the Windsor line.

Deputies say the motorcycle was a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 250, and that speed and driver inexperience appear to be contributing factors.

The operator’s identity was not released to allow time for family notifications. He was wearing a helmet. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Vigue Road was closed till approximately 1:30 PM.

The crash remains under investigation. Any witnesses or persons who have information related to this crash are asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office.
