Two men are dead after a motorcycle crash in West Augusta Sunday.

The crash occurred on Shenandoah Mountain Drive, about a half mile west of Deerfield Valley Road.

Police say the two motorcyclists were coming around a sharp turn, in opposite directions, and hit head-on.

The front of one motorcycle was actually in pieces. The other was in the embankment.

The man traveling eastbound, 51-year-old Michael Keith Neve, died instantly.

The man driving west, whose name has not yet been released, actually lost his foot and was being moved by an ambulance so he could be airlifted out.

Unfortunately, he also died before reaching the local convenience store where the helicopter was waiting.

Both bodies have been taken to Augusta Health.

On May 30, another crash occurred in the exact same spot. Sgt. Michael Rossetti says people need to be careful driving in this area.

"There's a very sharp curve coming around the corner here. Your visibility is very limited, because you're not able to see exactly what is in front of you. There's no room for margin of error," says Rossetti.

The crash is still under investigation.

Police say Neve crossed the double yellow lines. They say speed was not a contributing factor. Whether drugs or alcohol were involved is still unknown.
