A 46-year-old Beaver County woman was killed and a man was injured Saturday night in Darlington when the motorcycle they were riding left the road and crashed.

Martha Nye, of Fombell, died of blunt force trauma to the head, the Beaver County coroner's office said.

Pennsylvania State Police said the cycle was headed eastbound on Taggert Road near Valley Road in Darlington at 11:30 p.m., when it left the roadway for unknown reasons. Both Ms. Nye and the other rider, 38-year-old Troy Gower of New Castle, were thrown from the cycle.

Mr. Gower was flown to St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Youngstown, Ohio. Ms. Nye was pronounced dead at the scene.
