The St. Joseph County Police Department responded to Indiana 933, north of Cleveland Road, for a crash involving motorcyclist Ricki Balmer, 68, of South Bend and a pickup truck driver. Balmer was traveling north on Indiana 933 when the truck driver turned onto the road, crossing in front of the motorcyclist, the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s office said in a July 15 press release.
Balmer was transported to the hospital, where he later died, the prosecutor’s office said. An autopsy confirmed he died from his injuries in the crash, the press release said.
A toxicology report is pending for the truck driver, who was uninjured in the crash, the prosecutor’s office said.
