Route 66 People Member Ken Vetrovec killed in Nevada motorcycle accident
Vetrovec was on vacation, riding his red 2000 Indian Chief across country on historic Route 66. His trip began on June 22, and he reached the end point of Route 66 in Santa Monica, CA, on Sunday. On Monday, he headed for home on US 395 the East Sierra Scenic Highway, having logged 3500 miles.
The Nevada Highway Patrol said the accident took place on US 6 about 37 miles east of Ely; Vetrovec's motorcycle drifted off the highway on a curve and struck a steel milemarker. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Trooper Jim Stewart said, he was apparently taking pictures because the last image on his camera was of the curve where he crashed. He was wearing a helmet.
He leaves his wife, Janet and sons, David, Brian and Paul.
Our hearts go out to Ken's family.
