GREAT BARRINGTON, MA (WGGB/WSHM) - A 20-year-old man is dead after hitting a moose while riding his motorcycle.

Last Thursday, crews responded to the southbound lane of Route 7 in Great Barrington after receiving a 911 call. They arrived and found a man, later identified as 20-year-old Wyeth Curtis, and a moose laying in the southbound lane.

An early investigation shows that the moose stepped into the road, which caused Curtis to hit the moose. It is believed that both the man and the moose died on impact, but an investigation is still ongoing.
