The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office released the name Monday of Larry Hedge, a 55-year-old man from Bend who died Sunday night near Pleasant Ridge Road after driving his Harley Davidson motorcycle into a ditch.

Hedge had failed to make a right-hand turn and drove into a gravel shoulder on the east side of the road, according to a press release from the sheriff's office.

He traveled down the ditch about 165 feet before the motorcycle went airborne, throwing him about 20 feet.
Hedge was wearing a helmet, the release said, but it was not approved by the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Deputies arrived on the scene around 6:30 p.m. and performed CPR until medics with the Bend Fire Department arrived.

Hedge was pronounced dead at the scene.
