LAKEPORT – The California Highway Patrol has issued a report on a fatal Saturday crash which may have been caused by reckless driving.


The CHP reported that 61-year-old Wayne Stafford of Redwood Valley died as a result of the Saturday collision, which took place at about 1:30 p.m. on Highway 20 west of Scotts Valley Road.


Stafford was driving his 1990 Harley Davidson motorcycle westbound on Highway 20 “in a reckless manner,” passing other vehicles at high speeds while passing over double yellow lines in a right curve, according to CHP.


The road surface was wet due to the day's rainy weather, and the CHP reported that Stafford lost control of his motorcycle while passing over the double yellow lines.


The CHP report said the motorcycle went down on its left side and ejected Stafford onto the pavement.


Thomas Brower, 51, of Ukiah was driving his 1995 Toyota eastbound at between 50 and 55 miles per hour, according to the CHP. He hit the brakes but was unable to avoid hitting both Stafford and his motorcycle as they slid into the eastbound lane.


Stafford was transported to Sutter Lakeside Hospital where he died of his injuries, the CHP reported. Brower was physically uninjured.

surprised? One of those Harley jagoffs almost head on'd me on the Hopland Grade; speeding, over the double yellows, etc.

This guy is probably someone's dad, husband, friend. A little respect for the dead is in order, particularly since none of us have any idea why he was in such a hurry. Perhaps it was simple recklessness or perhaps he had a reason for rushing. Whichever it is he died. So have a little respect.

Yes, Wayne was in a hurry to get back from Chico and his aunt's funeral. He was a Vietnam vet and will be sorely missed.
