As reported on News Center 7 at 5, Saturday night law enforcement was dispatched to the intersection of Main Street (SR-48) and Philadelphia Drive for a crash between a motorcycle and a car.

The preliminary investigation by Ohio State Highway Patrol found that an SUV driven by 31-year-old Meleah Walker of Dayton turned left on Philadelphia Drive from northbound State Route 48 when she was struck by a motorcycle driven by 58-year-old Shawn Norman of Dayton. Norman was traveling southbound on State Route 48.

Norman and his passenger 67-year-old Clarence Weatherby of Dayton were both pronounced dead at the scene.

People living close to the area told us the crash did not sound overwhelming.

“From what I heard, it sounded like someone hit a dog,” Courtney Courtney said.
