Horton Road Incident

On Sunday, April 13, 2014 at approximately 0600 hours, I received a call from Cpl. D. Kuszaj to respond to North Duke Street and Horton Road in reference to a serious injury crash involving a vehicle and a motorcycle. Upon arrival, I was met by Cpl. Kuszaj and Master Officer D. Frey.

Master Officer Frey informed me that a motorcyclist traveling north on North Duke Street collided into a Dodge Dakota which was traveling west on North Duke Street leaving the public vehicular area (pva) of 3804 North Duke Street BP Station.

I observed a black four-door Dodge Dakota pick-up truck with a NC registration, CEM1933, facing southeast on North Duke Street, in the middle of the road. Also in the north bound inside lane northeast of the pick-up truck was a black Honda CBR1000RR motorcycle with a NC Registration, 5D6466, facing west laying on its right side. The motorcycle front wheel was disintegrated upon impact with the vehicle. The impact caused the rider to be ejected and land north of the motorcycle.

Uniform patrol officers closed off south and northbound lanes of Duke Street, along with a few businesses pva. They used crime scene tape to secure the area. The motorcyclist was transported to Duke Hospital by Medic#1 prior to my arrival. The driver from the Dodge Dakota was still on scene. I located the driver, later identified as Mr. Rory Antonio King. I introduced myself to the driver of the pick-up truck. I asked the driver if
