MARTINSVILLE, Ind. — A motorcycle crash left one person dead and another injured in Morgan County. Deputies were sent to the scene just after 5 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of McClure Road and State Road 42. Investigators say Louis Rightmyer, 72, of Indianapolis, was driving a Harley- Davidson motorcycle westbound on McClure Road when he ran off the north side of the road. Both he and his passenger, Shirley Rightmyer, 69, of Whitestown, were thrown from the motorcycle. Shirley died at the scene. Louis was taken to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis with injuries that were not life-threatening. According to investigators, Louis Rightmyer was wearing a helmet, but Shirley Rightmyer was not. The Morgan County Coroner’s Office said Shirley’s next of kin has been notified, but did not provide any details on her manner of death or autopsy report. As required by Indiana law, Louis Rightmyer provided a blood sample for testing. The Morgan County Prosecutor’s Office will review the investigation once it is finished.  ...read more read less
