FLETCHER - An Arden man was killed on March 21 after the motorcycle he was driving collided head-on with a vehicle on Naples Road in Henderson County.
According to North Carolina Highway Patrol Troop G Public Information Officer Rohn Silvers, troopers arrived on the scene of the crash at 5:47 p.m. March 21 at the intersection of US 25 and Naples Road in Fletcher. The driver of the motorcycle, Timothy Sparks, 62, was transported to AdventHealth Hendersonville, where he died from his injuries.
"A 1998 Dodge Neon, operated by Sue Bayne of Hendersonville, was traveling north on US 25 at the Naples Road intersection.
