Lebanon police officer killed in motorcycle crash

Another biker down and gone.

Police chief Scott Bowen says Jeff Stone, a Lebanon police officer, was riding his Harley-Davidson on U.S. 231 when a car turned from a side street onto the highway Saturday night. As the car crossed his lane, Stone hit the driver's side door and died at the scene.

A Tennessee Highway Patrol report says the driver was Jose Chavez, of Lebanon, who was injured. His passenger, Montes Barrea, also of Lebanon, was not hurt.

The Tennessean reports the accident is still under investigation. Highway patrol investigators have ordered tests to see if the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
