A New London man died Aug. 26 in a motorcycle crash north of Townsend.
Oconto County Sheriff Todd Skarban said the 63-year-old man was traveling south on state Highway 32 near North Surprise Lake Road at about 6:48 a.m. when he apparently failed to negotiate a curve and crashed. Alcohol and speed are believed to be factors, Skarban said.
The man was later identified as Brad L. Scheibe. The accident report indicates that the motorcycle traveled about 250 feet after it left the roadway, striking a utility box. Scheibe was pronounced dead at the scene.
