A St. Charles man died Wednesday, Aug. 31, in a motorcycle crash at Hwy. A and Pioneer Road east of Hillsboro, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported.
At 6:14 p.m., Steven M. Hankins, 34, of Hillsboro was driving a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze west on the highway and while turning left onto Pioneer Road, he allegedly pulled into the path of an eastbound 1998 Harley-Davidson XLH 1200 that Wyatt M. Hausgen, 34, of St. Charles was riding, and the motorcycle struck the passenger side of the car, the report said.
Hausgen was pronounced dead by Valle Ambulance personnel at 6:30 p.m., the report said.
Hankins sustained minor injuries and was taken by Valle Ambulance to Mercy Hospital Jefferson in Crystal City, where he treated and released, a hospital spokesperson said.
According to the report, Hankins was wearing a seat belt and Hausgen was not wearing a helmet, or at least not a Department of Transportation-approved one.
Both the Cruze and XLH were totaled, the report said.
