AKRON, Ohio – The Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office has released the names of two people who died early Monday after a motorcycle crash on a section of Interstate 76 in Akron that is closed for construction.

Billy Hupp III, 41, and Felicia Hammond, 32, both of Akron, died after Hupp crashed his Harley Davidson Road Glide motorcycle in the westbound lanes of I-76’s Kenmore Leg, between Interstate 77 and Interstate 277, according to the medical examiner and police.

The two-mile Kenmore Leg is under construction through October for bridge repairs.

A construction crew member called police just before 7 a.m. Monday to report the crash, police said.

Investigators learned that Hupp had crashed some time after midnight, and speed was a factor in the crash, police said.

Neither of the victims was wearing a helmet, according to police.

The crash remains under investigation.
