NATCHEZ — The Natchez man who died Sunday after he was thrown from his motorcycle had reportedly been drinking at the time.

Clyde “Mack” Bryant, 55, 160 St. Catherine Street, lost control of his vehicle in a curve on Lower Woodville Road.

Bryant reportedly came into contact with a roadsign before striking a tree, and was reported dead on the scene.

Bryant’s blood alcohol level was higher than the state’s legal limit, Coroner James Lee said.
