A three-vehicle crash in Clarke County killed a motorcyclist early Sunday afternoon.

Stephen D. Lilly, 32, of Berryville, Va., died at the scene as a result of his injuries. Lilly, who was driving a 2006 Harley-Davidson, was wearing a helmet.

Lilly was traveling on Route 612 (Shepherds Mill Road) at ¾ of a mile south Route 340 around 12:52 p.m. Sunday when he lost control and struck a 2003 Yamaha Motorcycle from the rear.

Lilly was thrown from the motorcycle and struck by a southbound 2008 Chrysler Town and Country.

The rider of the Yamaha, a 32-year-old male, of Winchester, Va., was seriously injured in the crash and transported to the Winchester Medical Center. The rider was wearing a helmet.

The driver of the Chrysler, a 47-year-old male from Round Hill, Va., was not injured in the crash. Four passengers, one adult and three juveniles, were also uninjured. All occupants were wearing their seat-belts.

The crash remains under investigation.
