A Liberty man was killed in a two-vehicle accident early Wednesday morning, August 19.
According to a Wayne County Sheriff’s Office press release signed by Wayne County Sheriff Randy Retter, Daniel Bolser, 55, Liberty, was declared dead at the scene.
At about 4:39 a.m., officers with the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office responded to a serious personal injury crash at the intersection of U.S. 27 and Esteb Road, which is located just north of Pottershop Road. Pottershop Road goes to Abington west off U.S. 27.
A 2001 Buick Park Avenue was being driven by a David Ramsey, 46, of Richmond. He had been southbound on Esteb Road and had come to a stop at its intersection with U.S. 27. Ramsey turned south onto U.S. 27 and was then struck by a 1995 Harley, operated by Bolser.
Police said Bolser was not wearing a helmet and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Alcohol and drug intoxication is believed to have played a part in the crash, according to the press release. The investigation continues into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Those assisting the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office included first responders from Redline Ambulance Service and the Boston Fire Department.
