Flatwoods motorcyclist killed in Vernon Parish crash

A Flatwoods man died in a motorcycle crash on Sunday, Feb. 9, in Vernon Parish. 

Louisiana State Police reported that Joseph M. Antee, 64, was driving a 2016 Harley Davidson motorcycle westbound on Hwy 8 around 12:08pm Sunday. 

It appears that Antee failed to negotiate a left-hand curve. Consequently, his motorcycle left the road and impacted with a driveway embankment. He was thrown from the motorcycle, causing fatal injuries, and was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Routine toxicology samples have been submitted for analysis. The crash remains under investigation at this time.
