Man killed while trying to load a motorcycle onto a truck
AUBURN, Mass. An Auburn man was killed when a motorcycle he was loading onto the back of his pickup truck fell on top of him.
Police said 54-year-old Stephen Gleason was alone when the Harley-Davidson motorcycle fell off a plank he was using to push the bike up and onto the truck bed. Police said the motorcycle weighed about 700 pounds.
He was pronounced dead at U-Mass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester.
Acting Auburn Police Chief Eileen Harrigan said Gleason also had a home in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, and it is believed that is where he was going Saturday when the fatal accident occurred.
