PERRY TOWNSHIP, Ohio - A motorcycle driver is dead, his passenger recovering in the hospital after their Harley-Davidson collided with a car Sunday afternoon in Perry Township.
The fatal crash happened around 2:45 p.m.
The Chardon post of the State Highway Patrol said Kenneth Janz, 48, of Eastlake, was riding his soft tail eastbound on US 20 when the bike and a Saturn, which was turning onto Lane Road, collided.
Both Janz and his 30-year-old passenger were ejected.
