A motorcycle crash Friday night claimed the life of a 23-year old Phoenix man.

Lieutenant Brad O’Dell of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said at approximately 11:45 p.m. dispatchers received a report of a motorcycle accident in the 5000 block of Sunshine Road, east of Roseburg.

O’Dell said deputies arrived to find a dirt bike that had left the roadway after the operator failed to successfully negotiate a left-hand turn. The rider, later identified as Kaulynn Shreeve, was thrown from the bike during the crash. Despite lifesaving efforts of bystanders and fire/medical personnel, Shreeve died at the scene.

Shreeve was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor.

O’Dell said DCSO was assisted by Douglas County Fire District No. 2 and the Douglas County Medical Examiner’s Office.
