PLATTSBURGH — A Plattsburgh man was killed in Vermont Thursday evening when his motorcycle collided head-on with a truck
Jere Brown, 40, of Plattsburgh, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident in the Town of Guildhall, Vermont, located in the Northeast Kingdom near the New Hampshire border.
Brown was traveling north on Vermont 102 Thursday night when Vermont State Police say he lost control of his motorcycle trying to negotiate a sharp curve. He slid on the pavement into the other lane and collided with a pickup truck heading south and driven by Marcus Smith, 26, of Woodsville, N.H.
Smith took evasive action, but was unable to avoid a collision.
No one else was injured.
Police say speed appears to have been a factor and are investigating the accident.
Vermont 102 was closed for more than two hours.
No further information was available Friday.
