Motorcyclist Killed In Possible Drunk Driving Crash Near Homer

A Homer man was killed in a single vehicle crash that appears to be a drunk driving related incident.

The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office says that deputies were called around 7:15pm Saturday to the 7000 block of 23 1/2 Mile Rd. on reports of a single vehicle motorcycle crash. When deputies got there, they found a 54-year-old man from Homer who was severely injured, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident continues to be looked into by the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office Accident Reconstruction Team.

Investigators say that at this time, alcohol and speed are believed to be factors in the accident.

This was the second motorcycle crash in rural Calhoun County in the past week; on Thursday, a motorcyclist was badly hurt after a vehicle entered their lane and they had to swerve to avoid a collission near Tekonsha.
