A motorcycle-related crash in Kosciusko County that claimed the life of a man is under investigation.

Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Deputies were called around 10 p.m. on Thursday, June 8, to State Road 13, just north of East Shoop Road.

Deputies believe high speed factored into the collision in which the motorcycle drove off the side of the road and hit a wooden platform.

Edward Dempsey, 55, was thrown from his motorcycle and landed in a yard. The motorcycle flipped over multiple times before it finally stopped.
