A Gilbert police officer died this morning from injuries he received in a motorcycle wreck on Monday, State Police said.
About 4:15 p.m., Patrolman Dennie J. Hurley II was riding his motorcycle east on his way home from work on W.Va. 97 in the Godfrey's Corner community in Wyoming County, said Trooper M.S. Godfrey of the Jesse detachment.
Erica Kennedy, 20, pulled out from a driveway on the south side of the road headed west, but she pulled into Hurley's path, Godfrey said. Her view was at least partially blocked by shrubs and the curve in the road, he said.
Hurley crossed the centerline to avoid striking her, but the motorcycle collided with the left front corner of her vehicle and he was thrown over the roof of her car.
Hurley landed on the road. He was flown to CAMC General Hospital where he died this morning, Godfrey said.
Hurley has been a police officer for about three months, Gilbert police chief Ryan Harman said.
The wreck is still under investigation, but no charges have been filed.
Kennedy and her 10-year-old passenger were not injured.
