Chippewa Man Dies in Motorcycle Accident.

It was Sunday afternoon a little before 1:30 in the afternoon when the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Department was notified of a traffic accident on 125th Ave east of S-Hwy 124 in the Town of Eagle Point.

The caller indicated that a motorcycle was east bound on 125th Ave and struck a trailer/truck that was backing out onto the roadway from a private driveway, going on to say that the driver of the motorcycle was severely injured. Upon arrival of EMS, an assessment determined that the victim, 37 year old Weston S Finnessy, from rural Chippewa Falls had passed due to his injuries. 

The traffic accident investigation determined that speed was a major factor of the accident. A witness (friend of the deceased also riding a motor cycle) stated that he and the victim were traveling well over the posted 55mph speed limit prior to the accident.
