DAYTON — One person was killed and another seriously injured in a motorcycle accident Friday night that left one of the motorcycles engulfed in flames.

The accident happened about 10:45 p.m. Friday, March 19, on Danner Avenue near Richley Avenue in the city’s southwest side.

The accident closed traffic in the area.

Officers said one victim was removed to a local hospital, and initial reports said the injuries were life-threatening.

First responders called for a representative of the coroner’s office to come to the scene, and one body remained on the scene, covered by a white sheet.

“We pulled up and one motorcycle was engulfed in flames,” witness Davidda Knight said.
