Justin Lee Withrow, 32, was thrown from the motorcycle in the 12:40 a.m. crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Speed and alcohol are suspected as factors in the accident, deputies said.
Perry Port-Salem Rescue Squad, Riverside Rescue Squad, Rosewood Fire Department and the Shelby County Coroner’s Office assisted at the scene.
