COUDERSPORT, P.A. (WENY) - A motorcycle accident late last week claimed the life of a Pennsylvania man.

Pennsylvania State Police say 67-year-old Michael Yeager was driving on Route 6 just outside of Coudersport, just after 3 PM on June 9th. That's when police say he lost control of his Harley Davidson on a curve in the road.

Yeager then hit a guardrail, traveling about 40 feet before his shirt got caught and he was pulled off the bike.

The motorcycle continued upright, traveling back across the road before it crashed about 500 feet from impact.

Yeager was taken to UPMC Cole hospital, where he was pronounced dead. 

Police say he was wearing a helmet.
