A Pickerington woman was killed July 29 following a motorcycle accident in Perry County, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Troopers with the Lancaster Post of the Patrol responded at around 12:41 p.m. to a single-vehicle crash that occurred on Rush Creek Road near Township Road in Reading Township, the Patrol said in a media release.
Investigators found that a 2004 Honda VTX1300C driven by Katherine Penn, 64, was traveling south on Rush Creek Road when she “failed to negotiate a turn” and traveled off of the right side of the roadway, the Patrol said. Penn struck a fence and was ejected from her motorcycle when it overturned.
Penn was pronounced dead at the scene, the Patrol said.
The Patrol is investigating the crash.
