We came home from Maxton to find a memorial right down the street from my home. I don't see much released information yet, but from what I understand so far the motorcycle was clocked at mid triple digits. There appears to have been some sort of chase.
I did not know him personally, but he lived about 2 miles from me and was a neighbor of someone I work with. There have been family and friends at the accident memorial site most of the day mourning the loss of this young Hayabusa rider.

A motorcycle accident in Salem has left a 21-year-old man dead.
Curtis A. Hackett of Roanoke County was pronounced dead at the scene, after his bike struck a utility pole in the 2100 block of West Main Street around 10:30 last night.
No other vehicles were involved and police believe speed was a factor.
The crash is still under investigation.
