A Columbus man died Saturday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash on State Route 117 near State Route 366, troopers of the Marysville Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol report.
Charles F. Stockton, 62, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Reports indicate Stockton was operating a northbound 2005 Honda VTX 1300C motorcycle about 5:15 p.m. on S.R. 117 when it was struck head-on by a southbound 2012 Chrysler 200, which traveled left-of-center. Stockton, who reportedly was not wearing a helmet, was thrown from the motorcycle.
The Chrysler’s driver, Shawn Shelton, 56, of Grove City, sustained minor injuries and was transported by Huntsville EMS to Mary Rutan Hospital.
Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash, troopers said.
It is the seventh fatal crash in Logan County this year.
Crash investigation continues.
