The Enterprise Police Department has released preliminary investigation results of a Tuesday, Aug. 24, crash involving a motorcycle and an automobile that resulted in the death on one individual.

The victim has been identified as Jesus Manuel Morales-Oyola, age 31, of Enterprise, according to Public Information Officer Billy Haglund.

According to Haglund, preliminary investigations reveal that the motorcycle was traveling westbound on Boll Weevil Circle when it collided with the automobile that was crossing the highway in its path.
