According to the statement, on Thursday, November 7 at approximately 5:05 p.m., Kill Devil Hills Police, Fire and Dare County EMS responded to a collision involving serious injury. The incident occurred at US 158 and W. Avalon Drive and involved a Chevrolet Tahoe and a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Based on the investigation of the collision, KDH police have determined that the operator of the motorcycle was stopped at the stop sign on W.
