Fatal Motorcycle Crash On Beasore Road Near Jones Store

BASS LAKE – A crash on Beasore Road claimed the life of a young mountain area man this morning when his motorcycle hit a tree.

Just after 8:30 a.m., CHP and EMS responded to reports of a motorcycle accident just east of Forest Road 5S27 above Bass Lake about a mile from Jones Store.

A Forest Service crew in the area stopped to assist and Sheriff’s deputies also responded, however the rider had sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

UPDATE July 23 – The victim in this crash has been identifies as Samual Lee Krucki, 22, of Coarsegold.
