A motorcycle accident resulted in the death of James Scott Rowlett, 27, in Oklahoma City early Sunday morning when his motorcycle collided with a pickup truck on the John Kilpatrick Turnpike. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash, which occurred around 3:30 a.m., but confirmed that Rowlett was wearing a helmet at the time. In a separate incident in Nigeria, a lone motorcycle accident in Osun State claimed the life of an unidentified rider on Wednesday night; the deceased was from the Gari-Alimi Area in Ilorin. The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps confirmed that the body was recovered and has been deposited in a mortuary for investigation. Further, in Wisconsin, a motorcyclist was injured after hitting a deer and then being struck by a hit-and-run vehicle, prompting an investigation for the driver who fled the scene. These incidents highlight the ongoing risks motorcyclists face on the roads due to both wildlife and vehicular collisions.
