A 21-year-old Whitefield man died in a motorcycle crash on Vigue Road in Whitefield the morning of Sunday, Sept. 28.
Christian L. Snape was operating a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 250 northbound on Vigue Road when the motorcycle went off the roadway on the northbound shoulder and struck several trees, according to a press release from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.
Snape, who was wearing a helmet, was pronounced deceased at the scene, according to a press issued by LCSO Lt. Brendan Kane.
