Last Update: 11/23/2009 8:34 pm
MIAMITOWN, Ohio -- Linda Colgate was pulling into her Miamitown driveway just before 5 p.m. Sunday, but she never made it home.

"There was a guy doing wheelies down 128, and he has just wrecked," a witness said to 911 operators.

Emergency crews say Colgate, 56, was taking a left in the 7300 block of State Rt. 128 when a motorcycle, driven by Bobby Luke, 27, hit the driver side of her car.  Colgate didn't survive the accident.

Colgate's brothers say it's something a parent should never have to see.

"My mom came out and seen her the car there, and couldn't figure out why it was there.  She walked over and seen she was slumped over, and she was gone," Mel Colgate said.

Emergency crews say Luke went to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Witnesses say he was moving after the accident.

"He's been about 30 feet ejected on to the concrete.  He rolled thankfully in the grass a little bit," said a witness to a 911 operator.

Police say Luke was traveling at a high rate of speed and in a reckless manner.

Investigators say it appears alcohol was involved.

The accident remains under investigation.
