At least one person is dead as a result of a car vs. motorcycle accident Wednesday night in Bartlesville.  Captain Jay Hastings reports the accident occurred at the intersection of Frank Phillips and Silverlake.  

The preliminary investigation, Hastings says, reveals that a Ford Explorer was driving west on Frank Phillips and was turning left onto Silverlake to head south. The motorcycle heading eastbound on Frank Phillips collided with the front end of the Explorer when the Explorer was turning left onto Silverlake.

Hastings says the motorcyclist was ejected from the motorcycle and was pronounced dead at the scene. Details will be released after the police investigation is complete and next of kin have been notified. According to Hastings, the names should be released sometime Thursday afternoon.
