September 6, 2023 By WRFA Radio 5 Comments

A Mayville man has been charged in the crash that killed two motorcycle riders in the town of North Harmony.

The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office reports 42-year old Stefan Parkhurst is charged with operating without insurance, operating while registration suspended/revoked, Improper Turn, Moved from lane unsafely, Failed to yield right of way on left turn, and Reckless Driving.

Deputies say Parkhurst was driving a pickup truck on Route 394 Sunday afternoon when he turned left into the path of a motorcycle driven by 64-year old John Honan of Amherst.

The collision resulted in the death of Honan and his passenger, 53-year old Rhonda Honan of Amherst.

    I agree. Why wasn’t he? We knew the people and find this sickening.

    I heard he stopped short because of a vehicle stopped to make a right hand turn in front of him. He turned left into on coming traffic by mistake, he did not see the motorcycle. To go right would have ment hitting into a guard rail. All bad moves on his part besides the lack of insurance and registration.

    HUGE Mistake!Those two people who died were one of the nicest couple you could ever meet. Sad, he should be in jail now! What’s the hold up?
