ONEIDA COUNTY: ALCOHOL AND SPEED ARE FACTORS IN FATAL MOTORCYCLE CRASH


   

On Saturday, August 19, 2023 at approximately 6:15 p.m., the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office received a call regarding a motorcycle accident on Hwy. 47 near the intersection of Bridge Road in the Town of Newbold.

According to the Oneida County Sheriff's Office, "It was reported that the male driver of the motorcycle was traveling south bound between 80 MPH and 100 MPH and passing in a no passing zone.  As a result, the operator failed to negotiate a curve, was ejected from the motorcycle, and was unresponsive.  Witnesses began life-saving measures prior to the first responders' arrival.  However, the driver, 36-year old Nathan Holoubek of Land O Lakes, Wisconsin, was pronounced deceased on scene."

Based on witness statements and observations, speed and alcohol were factors in the crash.
