Details of how an accident occurred that took the life a female motorcycle rider are still coming in to DPS after Golden Valley Firefighter-Paramedics responded to a motorcycle accident on Highway-68 at Brice Road on Friday evening at 9:24 PM.  The late model Ultra Classic Harley Davidson motorcycle occupied by two riders, one male and one female was traveling westbound on Hwy-68.  Early reports indicated there may have been another vehicle involved, although there was none on-scene.  Golden Valley Firefighters arrived in approximately 2-minutes of dispatch and determined the female rider was dead at the scene and the male patient was in critical condition.  KRMC was notified of the incoming critical patient and was prepared with a trauma-team upon the arrival of the ambulance.  DPS and ADOT crews controlled traffic for over an hour while they investigated the accident scene.  Names and ages of the motorcycle riders have been withheld as of the time of this press release.
