PICKAWAY COUNTY, Ohio — A motorcyclist is dead after being struck head-on in Pickaway County Tuesday evening, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

The crash happened around 5:35 p.m. at U.S. Route 62 and Harrisburg Road. A Hyundai Sonata was traveling north and slowly turning left onto Harrisburg Road when a Ford F-150, also traveling north, struck the back of the Hyundai.

The Hyundai then traveled left of center into the southbound lane, striking a Triumph motorcycle, driven by 60-year-old Roger Cole, head-on.

The drivers and passengers in the Hyundai and Ford were uninjured.
