Indiana County Coroner Jerry Overman Jr. says a Blairsville man died of blunt force trauma shortly after 6 o’clock last evening in a motorcycle crash on Tunnelton Road in Conemaugh Township.
39-year-old Mark Abraum Sprague of East Ranson Avenue failed to negotiate a left-hand curve, causing his Harley Davidson motorcycle to leave the road and strike a utility pole. Overman says Sprague was not wearing a helmet and while speed was not a factor, alcohol may have been. No autopsy is planned and toxicology tests are pending. A passenger on the motorcycle was taken to Forbes Regional Medical Center in Monroeville with undisclosed injuries.
State police have not yet issued their report on the crash. The Tunnelton and Saltsburg fire companies responded.
