Morris County, NJ : 68-year-old woman killed in motorcycle crash in Mine Hill on Thursday evening, August 4, 2016

A 68-year-old woman from Benton, Ark., was killed Thursday evening after she crashed her motorcycle into a telephone pole in the Morris County town of Mine Hill, police said.

Shirley Whitmore was taken to St. Clare's Hospital in Dover, where she was pronounced dead, said Robert Lupia, a detective for the Wharton police, who cover Mine Hill.

Whitmore's mother lives in nearby Randolph and she may have been visiting her there, Lupia said.

Whitmore was the sole occupant of the motorcycle and was driving north on Canfield Avenue near the Randolph line when she crossed over to the southbound lane at a curve and hit the pole, Lupia said.

He said he did not know if Whitmore had taken any medications, but that is under investigation.
