PUBLIC SAFETY Motorcyclist dies in crash near Jackson County Expo Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted May. 17, 2016 at 6:57 PM Posted May. 17, 2016 at 6:57 PM » Social News A man died shortly after his motorcycle was struck by a car near the Jackson County Expo this afternoon. The Jackson County Sheriff's Department said in a news release that the crash was first reported at 3:25 p.m. on Peninger Road. A preliminary investigation shows the man pulled out of a driveway from the Expo onto Peninger Road, putting his motorcycle directly into the path of a 2002 Hyundai Elantra traveling northbound. The car's driver tried to swerve, but was unable to avoid hitting the motorcycle. The motorcycle's driver was severely injured in the crash. An officer from Medford police reportedly was on scene first and performed CPR. The man was then transported to Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center, where he died from his injuries a short time later. Sheriff's department officials are not releasing the man's name yet, as next of kin has not been notified. Police closed Peninger Road in both directions during the department's initial investigation into the crash, but it has since reopened. Investigators did not issue any citations at the scene. The sheriff's department could not be immediately reached for additional comment.
