An Athens man died in a motorcycle accident Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024, according to Limestone County Coroner Mike West.
The accident on U.S. Highway 31, south of Laughmiller Road, claimed the life of 45-year-old Marchas B. Williams, West said.
The accident occurred at about 6:30 a.m., according to the time of the 911 emergency call. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency investigated the accident.
According to West, Williams was heading north on the motorcycle when he lost control on a curve and crashed into a nearby median.
Limestone officials could not determine if Williams had any correlation to the Trail of Tears Commemorative Motorcycle Ride which passed through Athens Saturday afternoon.
