SISTERS, Ore. (KTVZ) – A 65-year-old Bend man was killed Saturday morning when his motorcycle crashed on Highway 20W near Suttle Lake in Jefferson County, Oregon State Police reported.

Troopers and medics responded shortly after 9 a.m. to the crash near milepost 88 west of Sisters, Captain Tim Fox said.

A preliminary investigation found that Richard Cissna was riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle heading west when he tried to avoid traffic that had slowed, lost control and crashed, Fox said.
