On Saturday, November 25, 2023, at 2:39 p.m., the Oregon State Police responded to a fatal vehicle versus motorcycle collision at the intersection of OR99 and Elk Street in Jackson County.
Preliminary investigations revealed that a Hyundai Elantra, operated by 38-year-old Melissa Dolmage of Medford, was stationary on Elk Street at the intersection with OR99. Then as it turned left onto OR99 southbound, it intersected with the path of a northbound Harley Davidson motorcycle, ridden by 69-year-old Kevin L. Norman of Central Point, resulting in a side-impact collision.
Regrettably, Mr. Norman was declared deceased at the scene.
