Published in The Grand Island Independent on June 14, 2012 ******************************************************* Donald McCarville was killed in a motorcycle/car crash yesterday afternoon just outside Grand Island. McCarville, 80, of 4191 New York Ave. was killed approximately one-quarter mile east of the Shady Bend Road intersection on Capital Avenue. The crash occurred at 2:55 p.m. Tuesday. According to a press release from the Hall County Sheriff's Department, the preliminary investigation determined that a 1999 Nissan Sentra driven by Britteney Baker, 21, of Grand Island was westbound on Capital Avenue when it crossed the center line and struck head-on an eastbound 2005 Suzuki three-wheeled motorcycle driven by McCarville. McCarville was pronounced dead at the scene. Baker initially told law enforcement officers who responded to the scene that the driver of the Nissan had fled on foot. After a brief search of the area, she admitted to being the driver, according to the press release. Sheriff Jerry Watson said Baker, who wasn't injured, had been alone in the car at the time of the accident. Seat belt usage at the time of the crash for Baker is unknown at this time, according to the release. Baker was taken into custody for not having a driver's license, driving left of center, false reporting and motor vehicle homicide. She was taken to St. Francis Medical Center following the crash for a blood draw, which is standard procedure in a fatal crash, Chief Deputy Sheriff Chris Rea said yesterday. The reason Baker drove left of center was still being investigated today, Watson said. She will likely be in court this morning, he said. Baker of 608 S. Eddy St. was booked into the Hall County Jail at 8:14 p.m. Tuesday. Published Grand Island Independent 06/13/2012
