A local man was killed after his motorcycle collided head-on with a truck.
At approximately 7:58 p.m. July 1, Bethel Township Fire and EMS responded to South Hampton Road in reference to a motorcycle accident.
According to Ohio State Highway Patrol reports, Derek Sears, 21, of 10720 Kendig Road, New Carlisle, was traveling northbound on South Hampton Road on a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja, and Sharon Smith, 62, of 3454 Folk Ream Road, Springfield, was traveling southbound in a 2001 Chevy truck.
"It appears as though the motorcycle driver attempted to negotiate a right curve and crossed over the double yellow line hitting the truck head-on," said Sgt. Yvonne Thorn, Ohio State Highway Patrol Springfield Post.
Sears was transported to Miami Valley Hospital by squad, where he was pronounced dead. Smith received only minor injuries and was not treated.
Sears was wearing a helmet, and troopers do not believe alcohol was involved, said Thorn. Sears was riding with three friends who witnessed the accident but were not involved.
No charges will be filed against the truck driver.
