A 67-year-old Pennsylvania man died in a Thursday motorcycle crash south of Cody.
Timothy Clymer and three other motorcyclists had been traveling south on Wyo. Highway 120 when a deer walked out onto the road, the Wyoming Highway Patrol said.
The front rider “quickly” applied their brakes to avoid the animal, the patrol wrote in a preliminary report. Clymer then crashed into the lead rider and came off his motorcycle, the report indicates. He was taken to a Billings hospital for medical treatment, but later died from his injuries, said Park County Coroner Cody Gortmaker.
Clymer was wearing a helmet at the time, but according to the report, it was open-faced and didn’t meet Department of Transportation safety standards.
The crash occurred roughly halfway between Cody and Meeteetse.
It was the fifth fatal crash in Park County in 2024 — including an Aug. 25 crash on Wyo. 120 that claimed the life of a 44-year-old Missouri motorcyclist; the earlier crash occurred about 17 miles to the south of last week’s incident.
Park County’s sixth fatal crash of the year followed on Monday morning west of Ralston.
