Man, 29, Killed In Motorcycle Accident in Wallingford: Police

WALLINGFORD, CT — The Wallingford Police Department is continuing to investigate a fatal motorcycle crash that occurred over the weekend. Jason M. Sipes, 29, was killed around 2 a.m. Sunday when he was thrown from his motorcycle while riding on Barnes Road (Route 68). Sipes was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later, according to police.

Police said the investigation, which is ongoing, revealed that Sipes was traveling in a westbound direction on Route 68 prior to the collision.

“As Sipes rode through the intersection of Route 68 and Northrop Road, where there is a slight left curve, he travelled off the right side of the roadway,” police wrote in a press release. “His motorcycle then left the paved portion of the roadway and struck a metal beam guard rail, which caused Sipes to separate from the motorcycle.”

Traffic was affected for several hours as police reconstructed the collision. Any witnesses to crash are asked to call Officer Christian Evans at 203-294-2819 or Lt. Anthony DeMaio at 203-294-2838.
