At the same time, another vehicle, which had stopped at the intersection, was driving into the intersection.
Locke crashed into the passenger side of the vehicle and was thrown from the motorcycle, landing in the road, the OSHP said.
Locke was pronounced dead at the scene.
Although Locke was wearing a helmet, OSHP Lt. Brian Aller said that speeding and failing to yield right of way are the two most common factors in injury and fatal crashes.
“Obeying the speed limit and making a complete stop at stop signs help eliminate tragedies on our roadways,” he said.
The highway patrol was assisted at the crash by the Clark County Sheriff’s Department, German Township Police Department and German Township Fire and EMS.
The crash remains under investigation.
