Robert Cogswell, 56, was operating a 2001 Harley-Davidson motorcycle and was changing lanes to pass slower traffic when his motorcycle went off the left side of the roadway. He was unable to maintain control of his motorcycle as it tipped onto its side.
Cogswell was thrown from the bike. He died of his injuries.
