The California Highway Patrol released the name of a 49-year old Oakville man who rode his motorcycle off the road on Sunday night in Napa County near Yountville.

Officers responded to the scene off Oakville Grade, west of Highway 29, just after 8:00 p.m where Stephen Lloyd Ogle was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ogle lost control of his 2006 Big Dog custom-built motorcycle for unknown reasons and began to slide as he approached a curve in the roadway, according to the CHP. He slid off the road and into a tree and a fence.

The crash remains under investigation.
