John Obermiyer, 55, of Warren, was killed Monday evening in a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of North Park Avenue and Comstock Street NE, according to local police.

Authorities say the accident occurred at 6:22 p.m. when a Chevrolet pickup truck traveling east on Comstock Street collided with Obermiyer’s motorcycle, which was heading north on North Park Avenue.

The force of the crash threw Obermiyer from his motorcycle, and he landed in a nearby vacant lot. He was transported to St. Joseph Warren Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
