Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal single-vehicle motorcycle crash that occurred this morning on I-95.
Officials said on September 22, 2024, at approximately 8:35 a.m., a Honda CBR 1000RR motorcycle was traveling southbound on I-95, north of Basin Road. The motorcycle, operated 26-year-old Taylor Guyer of Douglasville, Pennsylvania, was initially riding behind a group of fellow motorcyclists. The rider accelerated to catch up with the group and eventually passed them at a high rate of speed police said.
After passing the group, the motorcycle’s rear tire locked up, causing it to skid. The motorcycle fell onto its right side and slid toward the right shoulder of the roadway. Guyer, who was wearing a helmet, was ejected from the motorcycle during the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The roadway was closed for approximately five hours while the Delaware State Police Troop 2 Collision Reconstruction Unit investigated the crash and cleared the roadway.
