BUTLERVILLE, Ind. – The Jennings County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a single-vehicle motorcycle accident in Columbia Township on Saturday afternoon.
Deputies responded to County Road 775E, at around 3:50 p.m., where they located an unresponsive male who had apparently been ejected from the motorcycle during the crash.
The preliminary investigation revealed that a motorcycle being driven by Joseph Simmons, 57, of Butlerville, was northbound when, for an unknown reason, it left the east side of the roadway and rolled several times.
As a result of the collision, Simmons sustained fatal injuries. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Jennings County Corners Office.
