Two people are dead after a crash in Champaign County Sunday evening.
Champaign County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched around 5:15 p.m. to a two-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle at the intersection of State Route 29 at South Ludlow Road in Union Township.
There, they found a 2024 Harley Davidson motorcycle driven by John Howard Baker, 65, of Huber Heights, was traveling southbound on S. Ludlow Road.
Deputies say he failed to yield at the intersection and pulled in front of an eastbound truck hauling a travel trailer, driven by Kevin Criss, 30, from Carrollton.
Baker and his passenger, Alisa Britton, 51, also from Huber Heights, were thrown from the motorcycle, which came to a rest in a ditch before catching fire.
Baker was pronounced dead at the scene. Britton was transported to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Criss and the passengers in the truck were treated and released on the scene.
The crash remains under investigation.
