A man from Corning was killed in a motorcycle crash in Trinity County Wednesday evening. At around 7:30PM on Highway 299 near Burnt Ranch, 50-year-old David Wilkie was riding a Suzuki GSX-R 750 westbound when he lost control of the bike and left the roadway. He was ejected and collided with the rock embankment. CPR was attempted for about 30 minutes by witnesses and then by emergency personnel, but Wilkie was declared dead at the scene.
