A man and a woman were killed in a Pennsylvania motorcycle accident early Monday in a suspected DUI incident.

According to officials with the Westmoreland County Sheriff’s Department, 35 year-old Jefferey Canaan and 23 year-old Katy McCorkendale were on an eastbound motorcycle on Route 780 in Lower Burrell shortly after 3:00 a.m. Monday when the crash occurred. Police say Canaan failed to negotiate a curve and went up an embankment, striking two trees.

Sergeant Jason Napier says Canaan was found in the front yard of a home and McCorkendale on the roadway. They were pronounced dead at the scene by Deputy Coroner Dennis Johns. Authorities say both had trauma to the head and torso.

Officer Steve Cernava said speed contributed to the crash, but police do not know how fast the motorcycle was traveling. Police believe alcohol was a factor, but are awaiting the results of toxicology tests.
