Virginia State Police responded to a two-vehicle crash on Route 42 just south of Badger Road in Augusta County on Saturday at 11:08 a.m.

A 2015 Harley-Davidson Ultra motorcycle was traveling south on Route 42 when it entered a curve and crossed the double yellow line. It then struck a northbound 2012 Honda Pilot. The impact of the crash caused the operator of the motorcycle to slide across the roadway and strike a guardrail.

The operator of the motorcycle, Mark Braley, 53, of Amissville, died at the scene. He was wearing a helmet.

The driver of the Honda, Mary Reeves, 62, of Bridgewater, Va., sustained minor injuries in the crash. She was wearing a seatbelt.

The crash remains under investigation.
