Sailor killed in WA motorcycle accident

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BREMERTON, Wash. -- A 23-year-old Navy sailor assigned to the airraft carrier USS John C. Stennis has been killed in a motorcycle accident.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Ricky Stevens worked in the ship's engineering department. He died yesterday afternoon when his motorcycle hit a light pole in Bremerton.

Stevens joined the Navy in July 2003 and was assigned to the Stennis in December. He is survived by his wife.

Stevens was the second Stennis crew member to be killed in a traffic accident since the carrier returned from a deployment in the Persian Gulf in late August.

In September, a 20-year-old Stennis sailor died when the car in which he was riding crashed into a utility pole and into two large trees.
