On Sunday, December 8, 2024, at 5:55 p.m., Westover Division officers responded to a vehicle crash with injuries in the 1300 block of Tyvola Road.  Upon arrival, officers located a silver 2025 Triumph Daytona 660 motorcycle and its operator Parker Allan Kvasnicka, 19, and a grey 2007 Honda Accord sedan and its three occupants. MEDIC arrived on scene and pronounced Kvasnicka deceased as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. The three passengers in the Honda Accord suffered minor injuries and were transported by MEDIC to Atrium Health Main.
