A 31-year-old man is dead after a crash involving a motorcycle in Butler County.
Sheriff’s deputies and medics responded at 10:56 p.m. to an injury crash near Millville Oxford and Reily Millville Roads, according to Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones.
A 2003 Suzuki motorcycle was traveling north on Millvile Oxford Road when it entered the southbound lane. It veered off the road and collided with a guardrail.
A 31-year-old man was thrown from the motorcycle. He slid into the path and was struck by a truck on Reily Millville Road, according to Sheriff Jones.
A blue Honda then struck the motorcycle on Millville Oxford Road and fled the scene.
“AirCare was called for the motorcyclist, but died before he was transported,” instructed Sheriff Jones. “Speed and alcohol are suspected to be contributing factors.”
The crash is still under investigation.
