Speed is blamed in fatal wreck
MONROE A Union County man died Wednesday night in a single vehicle accident near his home.
According to the report from the N.C. Highway Patrol, 33-year-old Jimmy Scott Adams, of Old Camden Road, was killed when he lost control of the motorcycle he was driving near the intersection of N.C. 200 and Old Camden Road.
Trooper B.M. Kral said Adams was traveling roughly 80 mph on a Suzuki Katana 750 when he lost control of his vehicle as he came to a turn.
It appears he basically lost control as he came to the turn and went off the road into an embank-ment, Kral said.
Kral said that alcohol is suspected in the accident.
