Lloyd Gillesprie, 70, of Fortville, Indiana, died Wednesday after a head-on motorcycle collision. Gillesprie was riding his motorcycle on southbound Ind. 67 in Pendleton when a Chevrolet Malibu struck him from the northbound lane. The Malibu, driven by Darius McGhee, 19, was rear-ended by a Chevrolet Silverado pickup and catapulted into the southbound lane when McGhee slowed down for a northbound semi truck turning into a business driveway. The driver of the Silverado, Conner Gaskill, 16, and McGhee were not injured. Gillespie was wearing a helmet during the crash.

Just after 6 a.m. on Friday, a crash on State Road 67 near County Road 700 West claimed one life and injured another.

Officials report a 2005 Dodge van driven by Dakota L. Burnette, 26 of Oolitic, was traveling southwest on S.R. 67 as a semi driven by Timothy D. Stines, 44 of Bedford, was traveling northeast.

For unknown reasons, Burnette crossed the center line and sideswiped the semi. The van then spun partially off the highway as the semi came to a stop partially blocking the southbound lane of S.R. 67.
