Motorcyclist killed in York County 2-vehicle crash identified

A motorcyclist was killed in a two-vehicle collision Friday evening in York County, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

The motorcyclist was thrown from the 2010 Harley Davidson motorcycle after a 17-year-old Clover girl tried to make a left turn while driving on Sharon Road near Sharon, said Lance Cpl. Justin Sutherland of the Highway Patrol.

The motorcyclist was thrown from the bike and wasn't wearing a helmet, Sutherland said.

Sutherland said the motorcyclist died on the scene of the crash.

York County Coroner Sabrina Gast identified the motorcyclist as Michael “Andy” Shuford, 38, of Hickory Grove.

The 17-year-old was driving a 2009 Chevy SUV and wasn't injured, Sutherland said.

The two vehicles collided at about 5:30 p.m. Friday, Sutherland said.

The accident is still under investigation by the S.C. Highway Patrol. Toxicology testing will be conducted, and results can take several weeks, Gast said.
