A motorcycle rider was killed in a crash with another vehicle Thursday in Hancock County.
About 7:30 p.m., members of the New Palestine Police Department and the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department were called to the area of U.S. 52 and Creekside Drive for a crash involving a motorcycle. The location is west of New Palestine, and about three-quarters of a mile from the Marion-Hancock County line. The crash involved a Cadillac Escalade and a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Officers arrived on scene and called for the Hancock County Fatal Accident Crash Team (F.A.C.T.) because of the severity of the crash.
The Cadillac was leaving El Toro Bravo restaurant, pulling onto U.S. 52. The motorcycle was traveling westbound on U.S. 52 toward Indianapolis. The Cadillac pulled out in front of the motorcycle, causing the motorcycle to impact the driver’s side of the SUV.
The driver of the motorcycle, Timothy Bossard, 60, of Greenfield, was not wearing a helmet. He was transported to Methodist Hospital by ambulance but was pronounced deceased just after midnight.
The driver of the Cadillac, Robert Jennings, 77, of Greenfield, was not seriously injured. He remained on scene and cooperated with police. He voluntarily submitted to a chemical test as part of routine investigation into a fatal crash.
At this time, drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor. The investigation is ongoing. U.S. 52 was closed for about three hours while officers from Hancock County F.A.C.T. investigated.
Members of the New Palestine Police Department, Hancock County Sheriff’s Office, and F.A.C.T. (comprised of the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office; Greenfield, New Palestine Cumberland, Wilkinson, Fortville, and McCordsville Police Departments; and the Hancock County Prosecutor’s Office investigator), and the Sugar Creek Township Fire Department responded to the scene or are assisting with the investigation.
