The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office has identified one of the victims in yesterday’s fatal motorcycle crash on Route 31 in Perinton.
They identified the passenger on the motorcycle as 29-year-old Meghan Orbaker of Palmyra. The male driver of the motorcycle had not yet been identified.
Deputies say the motorcycle was approaching the corner of Route 31 and Valley Creek Road when the traffic light began to change. An SUV waiting in the intersection began to turn left at the same moment the approaching motorcycle sped up trying to beat the light. Witnesses say they crashed at the intersection, ejecting both people from the motorcycle.
The bike’s driver died instantly. Orbaker died later at Strong Memorial Hospital.
The SUV’s driver was Louis Ninos of Perinton, who suffered minor injuries and also went to the hospital. His passenger wasn’t hurt.
The investigation is continuing.
