The driver of a motorcycle was killed and the driver of a truck was critically injured after the two collided around 8:15 a.m. Saturday, June 27.

Sgt. Jeff Kramer of the Dayton post for the Ohio Highway Patrol said Ryan Mason was riding a 2008 Suzuki southbound on U.S. 127 outside of Eaton, when the driver of a 1936 Ford, custom pick-up truck going north tried to make a left turn into a private drive. The driver of the truck, Robert Shindeldecker of West Alexandria, turned into the path of the motorcycle.

Mason, 31, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Shindeldecker was transported to Miami Valley Hospital via CareFlight with critical injuries, Kramer said.
