GROVER, WI— A Green Bay teen was killed in a motorcycle crash in Marinette County Saturday.
Sheriff’s deputies were notified around 9:50 a.m. of a possible ATV accident in the town of Grover. The caller reported they had heard a crash after seeing a vehicle go by on Loucks Road near England Road.
Upon arrival, deputies realized it wasn’t an ATV. They say 16-year-old Jerin Bucher of Green Bay was driving a sport motorcycle when he lost control, entered the ditch, and crashed.
Bucher, who was wearing a helmet, sustained fatal injuries.
Speed appears to have been a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation by the Marinette County Sheriff’s Office and Marinette County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Assisting in the incident were the Grover-Porterfield Fire Department, Aurora Medical Center-Bay Area EMS, and 180 Auto Towing and Recovery.
