CLAY, N.Y. --
A Brewerton man was killed Tuesday night in Clay after he was ejected from his motorcycle.
Richard Primerano was traveling west on Verplank Road around 7:56 p.m. when he tried to pass a vehicle that was attempting to turn into a driveway, said Detective Jon Seeber, of the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office.
While passing the vehicle, Primerano lost control and was thrown off of his 2010 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Seeber said. He landed in a culvert in front of 4683 Verplank Road.
Primerano was rushed to Upstate University Hospital by a Northern Onondaga Volunteer Ambulance crew, Seeber said. The 57-year-old man died at the Syracuse hospital.
A stretch of Verplank Road between Henry Clay Boulevard and Van Hoesen Road was closed for hours while deputies investigated the accident. The road is now open.
The fatal crash remains under investigation.
