OCONTO COUNTY — A Sunday afternoon crash between a motorcycle and a truck in Oconto County, Wisconsin resulted in the death of the biker — a 39-year-old man from Escanaba.

Around 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, a collision occurred at the intersection of County Trunk Highway S and Schwartz Road in Chase, a small town slightly northwest of Green Bay.

“A preliminary investigation indicates that a truck was stopped at the stop sign on Schwartz Road, facing south. The truck then proceeded into the intersection, where it was struck on the passenger-side box area of the truck by an eastbound motorcycle traveling on CTH S,” reported Oconto County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Communications Center.

The operator of the motorcycle, a 39-year-old man from Escanaba, died “as a result of injuries sustained in the crash,” the press release stated.

Two men from Oconto Falls who had been in the truck — a 48-year-old driver with a 25-year-old passenger — were evaluated at the scene by medical personnel and released.

The name of the deceased had not yet been officially announced by Monday evening.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family as they deal with the loss of a loved one,” wrote Oconto County Sheriff Todd Skarban.

Wisconsin State Patrol, Tri-County Fire Department, Oconto Falls Ambulance Service, the Brown County Medical Examiner’s Office, the Oconto County Highway Department and Larry’s Towing all assisted the Oconto County Sheriff’s Office in responding.

The crash remains under investigation by the Oconto County Sheriff’s Office, the Wisconsin State Patrol and the Brown County Medical Examiner’s Office.
