Virginia Beach Woman Killed In Motorcycle Accident Caused By Deer

Kimberly Wang, a 47-year old Virginia Beach woman, was killed Saturday night in Hillsville.  She was riding as a passenger on a 2005 Harley Custom Classic driven by Howard Henry Rolsmacher, 57, of Virgnia Beach.  Both persons were thrown from the Harley when Rolsmacher apparently attempted to avoid striking a deer in the road.  Mr. Rolsmacher was also injured, and was treated for his injuries at Wake Forrest University Baptist Medical Center.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ms. Wang's family.  This tragic accident happens all too frequently this time of year, when deer are in the midst of their mating season.  Motorists and motorcyclists alike should be especially attentive during those critical periods just before and after sunset and sunrise, when deer are especially mobile.
