Motorcyclist dies after crash in Boone County

WALTON, Ky. (WKRC) — One man is dead after he crashed his motorcycle in Walton Sunday, according to the Boone County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's office said the man, 47-year-old Robert Schulze of Williamstown, lost control of his motorcycle on a curve on Dixie Highway at the intersection with Duffel Lane around 6:45 p.m. The motorcycle left the roadway, hit a culvert and then struck a metal gate, throwing Schulze off. Schulze died at the scene. The sheriff's office says he was not wearing a helmet and speed and alcohol use are believed to be contributing factors in the crash.
