MONROE, Ohio — A motorcyclist has died after a two-vehicle crash in Butler County, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.

The crash happened at approximately 8 p.m. on March 12 at the Route 63 and American Way intersection, OSHP said.

According to highway patrol, 51-year-old Joseph Gisewite, of Middletown, was driving a 2019 Harley Davidson Street Glide Special motorcycle west on Route 63.
