press release, Nov 30, -0001

A Bend man died Sunday afternoon when the motorcycle he was riding crossed the center line and crashed head-on into a pickup truck, according to a Deschutes County Sheriff's Office press release.

Tyson Russell Boisvert, 23, died at St. Charles Medical Center-Bend, where he was taken after the crash, the sheriff's office said. Boisvert was riding east when he crossed into the westbound lane and hit a truck driven by Nathan Golly, 59, also of Bend, the Sheriff's Office said. Bend Fire Department medics and sheriff's deputies reached the accident scene about 1:45 p.m. Sunday.

It's unclear if Golly was hurt.

The sheriff's department declined to release further details about the accident on Sunday night.

Michael Ray Chamberlin, a 17-year-old senior at Mountain View High School and Katrina Freitag, 18, a graduate of Redmond High School, died in the fall of 2003. Bend High School students Stephanie Beeksma, 15, and Danielle O'Neil Gates, 16, died in the summer of 2003, and Gary Lee Mestdagh, 50, of Prineville, died in the spring of 2000.
