Details sought on fatal accident

WEST NEWBURY — Police are asking the public's help in finding new details on a motorcycle accident last week that claimed the lives of two people.

Police are hoping a bicyclist who stopped at the Bachelor Street accident last Thursday night and spoke briefly with one of the West Newbury officers will contact the department. Police did not get a chance to get the cyclist's name and would like to speak with him again.

Thursday's accident involved a motorcycle and a Toyota Rav4. Earl Morris, 63, 659 Primrose St., Haverhill, the driver of the motorcycle, was pronounced dead at the scene. Maryella Morris, 63, with a license address of 107 Valley Road, Etna, Maine, died Friday in a Boston hospital, where she was taken Thursday night via helicopter.
