(June 22, 2008)—Fort Hood Sgt. Oliver Laurence Jones, 35, died Saturday when he failed to negotiate a turn on his motorcycle while riding on FM 2484 in Bell County.

The Department of Public Safety said Sunday the motorcycle was traveling at a high rate of speed when it hit a culvert and went airborne.

As the bike came down, it struck a second culvert.

Jones was thrown from the motorcycle, which was catapulted into a tree.

Jones was pronounced dead at the scene at 5 p.m., about an hour after the accident.

Jones, of Columbia, S.C., had been assigned to the Warrior Transition Unit since November 2007.

He joined the Army in March 1999.
