A 61-year-old Virginia Beach man died Sunday morning when his motorcycle crossed over a median on Route 460 and hit another vehicle, Virginia State Police said.
Trooper Brad Crews said Kenneth Leroy Plopper was traveling eastbound on Route 460 in Campbell County when he crossed over the median and hit a Ford Escape traveling west on Route 460 head on.
Plopper died at the scene and his wife, Mary Lou Plopper, 61, was taken to Lynchburg General Hospital by MedFlight and is in critical condition, Crews said.
The accident happened just before 11:00 a.m. near Turkey Foot Road. Crews said the couple was with a group of bikers when the accident occurred. Plopper’s motorcycle, which ended up on the side of the road, caught fire. Crews could not confirm what caused Plopper to cross the median.
Crews said there were four passengers in the Escape. They were all taken to Lynchburg General Hospital with minor injuries and have been released.
