‘Curb Appeal’ co-host Bill Beckwith, 38, killed in San Francisco motorcycle crash
SAN FRANCISCO – A co-host of the HGTV show “Curb Appeal” has been killed in a motorcycle accident in San Francisco.
The San Francisco medical examiner identified 38-year-old Bill Beckwith as the victim of a crash near the city’s Haight-Ashbury neighbourhood Monday night. He was riding a motorcycle that was struck by a car.
Beckwith was one of the three hosts of “Curb Appeal,” which features home renovations. He was a carpenter and general contractor who grew up on a farm in Maine and owned his own Bay Area construction business.
HGTV says in a statement that his creativity, adventurous spirit and general love of life will be missed.
Police say Beckwith suffered head trauma and was pronounced dead at a hospital. The 30-year-old driver of the car that struck him is co-operating with the investigation.
