Authorities identified 20-year-old Amber Lynn Bennett as the woman who lost her life following a crash late Monday night in Wichita Falls.

The fatal motorcycle accident took place at about 10:55 p.m. on U.S. 287 east of Wichita Falls, near F.M. 2393. The investigation reports showed that a 2017 Kawasaki motorcycle driven by 22-year-old Cole Crowder, of Brownwood, was going northbound on U.S. 287, and Bennett was his passenger.
