The Ohio State Highway Patrol says that, at about 5 p.m. Saturday, troopers arrived at the scene of a motorcycle crash that occurred on West Caston Road, west of South Main Street.
Troopers say Michael H. Keith, 35, of Akron was operating a 2007 Harley Davidson eastbound on West Caston.
Vanessa L. Vatalaro, 48, of Akron was driving a 2005 Volkswagen Touareg. She pulled out from a private drive and was eastbound on West Caston in front of Keith.
Keith came over the crest of a hill and swerved to avoid hitting the Touareg.
