Deputies responded to find that Mr. Plett had struck a southbound sedan while riding a motorcycle, resulting in his ejection from the bike. Despite being transported to a nearby hospital and wearing a helmet and protective gear, he suffered fatal blunt-force injuries and was pronounced deceased.
Investigators learned that Mr. Plett had been riding dirt bikes with several companions in the area.
