Motorcycle hit guardrail Sunday

A 25-year-old Butler County native was killed in a weekend motorcycle crash in Maryland.

Nathan William Guterry, 25, of Lexington Park, Md., formerly of West Sunbury, died Sunday evening after he crashed into a guardrail in Hughesville, which is in the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metro area.

Maryland State Police said Guterry was traveling south on Leonard-town Road about 7:20 p.m. when he lost control of his 2009 Kawasaki EX500 on a curve and struck the guardrail, throwing him off the motorcycle.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said driver error and speed were suspected causes of in the crash. Alcohol was not believed to be a factor.

Witnesses told investigators that Guterry had been speeding “in and out of traffic several miles north of the crash site,” according to a police report.

An accident reconstruction investigation was conducted, and the report is pending.

Guterry is a 2010 graduate of Moniteau High School, where he was a member of the football and the track and field teams.

In 2014, he graduated with a degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering from the University of Buffalo.

He worked for the Naval Air Systems Command at the Patuxent River Naval Airbase in St. Mary’s County, Maryland. The William F. Young Funeral Home in West Sunbury is handling funeral arrangements.
